Threats made against schools across the US have been making headlines since the mass shooting at Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last month.

A new report from The Educator's School Safety network, a non-profit school safety organization, shows Michigan ranks in the top five for the number of reported threats since the shooting in Parkland.

The report found there were 41 threats against schools in the state between February 15th and February 28th.

Texas had the highest number of threats with 61 and New Jersey rounded out the top ten with 29.
