Of course they’re not credible. Nobody who has carried out a mass shooting has called a bunch of different schools, and threatened to mass shoot them.

My opinion was pretty unpopular on another post, but it seems more likely to me that whomever is doing this is more interested in stimulating a reaction from law enforcement and our lawmakers than simply scaring civilians, or actually carrying out an event of this type.

Yeah youre probably right. But its still scary when you have small children at a nearby school. Definitely stokes your primal fear and inner savage.

Has there ever been a mass shooting that actually was preempted by a threat?

That would be a terrible look for administration or law enforcement. If a threat came in and they ignored it? A better question would be if they showed up to try do it after threatening. Assume it’d be covered by LE and they’d leave.
