On Monday morning (local time) in Michigan, a 16-year-old accidentally detonated an explosive device that he brought to school.

He alongside his four classmates were injured in the explosion that took place at Newaygo High School in west-central Michigan.

The Michigan State Police said in a tweet the preliminary investigation of the incident suggests that the 16-year-old accidentally detonated a homemade explosive that he brought to school.

 Emergency Service arrived on the scene after the school administrative body dialed 911. "The school was immediately evacuated and students were transferred to the bus garage," Michigan State Police tweeted.

The Police spokesperson Michelle Robinson told the CNN reporters that their initial investigation said the student had no ill intent and did not intend to detonate the device.

The 16-year-old suffered moderate to severe injuries and was rushed to the hospital. His four friends suffered minor injuries and were taken to the hospital by their parents.
