It appears at this point there is a mass active shooter hoax going on at many schools across the nation.

You do it to one school, you get local or state police involved. You do it to this many, and the FBI is going to be involved. Not the smartest plan.

I doubt they are going to go to Russia , Iran or wherever and do anything about it.

This is oddly targeted. Not saying you’re wrong, but this could be domestic, too.

Sounds a bit like the series of attacks on power grids across the US that happened recently. Probably unrelated, but in the same vein. Kinda like the velociraptors in the first Jurassic Park film, too - testing the fences, looking for weaknesses to exploit.

Exactly. Actual terrorists (foreign or domestic) would be judging response times and protocols to better plan for the real event.

Beyond that possibly excessive conspiracy thinking, this kind of thing is a massive waste of resources, which is the point. Hundreds upon hundreds of first responders rolling out for hoaxes just drains money and manpower and inspires panic and terror across the response area.
