STATE POLICE INVESTIGATE SERIES OF “SWATTING” CALLS

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating a series of phone calls made to 911 centers about schools across the Commonwealth. These so-called “swatting calls” involve threats of an active shooter situation or a bomb threat and were made to several schools in different counties. PSP officials say all the calls resulted in lockdowns or schools being evacuated. The officials also say all claims in the calls have been determined to be false and that they’re continuing to investigate who made them.
