Authorities in Pontiac, Michigan, likely stopped a mass shooting at a high school graduation ceremony earlier this week, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard revealed on Friday.

On Tuesday, Sheriff’s deputies were called to break up a fight at the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac graduation, and after arriving, were told about a shooting threat posted on social media, The Detroit News reported. Aided by security footage from the United Wholesale Mortgage’s Sports Complex, where the graduation was taking place, authorities discovered that two men had placed packages underneath vehicles. Both packages contained handguns with 40-round magazines.

“When you combine that with the post that had been seen, that someone planned to shoot up this graduation, in our business we call that a clue,” Sheriff Bouchard said. “These weren’t brought to be simple accessories. … I believe we probably prevented a mass shooting.”

“Just those two weapons, without changing magazines, had 80 rounds of potential firepower,” Bouchard added. “Shooting into a graduation, you can only imagine the outcome of that.”

Deputies arrested a 19-year-old suspect, but are still looking for 20-year-old Jamarion Hardiman, a person of interest in the alleged mass shooting plot, according to The Detroit News. The Snapchat post where the threat was made has been taken down, but according to people who saw the post, it mentioned “going to shoot up the crowd,” according to Bouchard.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said on Friday that her “office has been in touch with local officials. I am grateful to first responders for acting fast and saving lives in Pontiac.”

The graduation ceremony proceeded after only two minutes of disruption, according to Septembra Williams, superintendent of the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac. Both of the suspects in the alleged shooting threat “have a history of being involved with weapons and violence,” and the 20-year-old person of interest is currently on probation for a previous weapons case, according to Sheriff Bouchard.

Authorities do not believe that either of the two suspects attended the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac, but they likely had family and friends at the graduation ceremony.

In November of 2021, Oxford High School — less than 20 miles north of Pontiac — was targeted in a mass shooting, where a teenage shooter killed four students and wounded seven other people.

Tom Cruise may be in his 60s, but the action star was still able to set a Guinness World Record while filming a stunt for “Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning.”

The organization announced this week that Cruise had been awarded the title for “most burning parachute jumps by an individual,” citing the 16 times the A-lister “leapt out of a helicopter…while strapped to a parachute pre-soaked in fuel and lit ablaze.”

The flaming parachute could only burn for seconds before Cruise, known for performing his own stunts, had to cut it away and deploy a backup, as CBS News reported. The actor would also hold a 50-pound camera for some of the jumps.

“Tom doesn’t just play action heroes — he is an action hero!” Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said of the stunt. “A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and pushing the boundaries of what a leading man can do. It’s an honor to be able to recognize his utter fearlessness with this new Guinness World Records title.”

Cruise posted a clip of some of the jumps on social media. “If this is twisted while it’s burning, I’m going to be spinning and burning. I have to kick out of the twist and then ignite in 10 seconds,” Cruise can be heard saying before jumping. “We’re going to be real smart. I’m not saying be risky. We don’t take risks, obviously.”

“Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” had a strong Memorial Day Weekend debut and has grossed $390 million at the worldwide box office. This gave the movie business a much-needed boost after a sluggish start to the year.

“This weekend was one for the history books!” Cruise wrote in a note he shared with followers after the debut. “Congratulations and thank you to every filmmaker, every artist, every crew member and every single person who works at the studios.”

“To every theater and every employee who helps bring these stories to audiences, thank you,” the message continued.  “To everyone that works at Paramount Pictures and Skydance, thank you for your many years of partnership and unwavering support. And most of all, THANK YOU to audiences everywhere for whom we all serve and for whom we all LOVE to entertain. Sincerely, Tom.”

Cruise had previously discussed doing “physically punishing” stunts during filming. One involved him breathing in his own carbon monoxide during an underwater submarine scene.

“You have to overcome all of that while you’re doing it, and be present,” he said during a February interview with Empire, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

Cruise also discussed an action sequence on the outside of a biplane, saying he passed out multiple times while filming it.

“When you stick your face out [of an airplane], going over 120 to 130 miles an hour, you’re not getting oxygen,” the Hollywood star said. “So I had to train myself how to breathe. There were times I would pass out physically; I was unable to get back into the cockpit.”
