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

Kinda stupid to be spreading this before there is any real information.

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.

I mean, it seems way more likely this is a mass hoax than some coordinated effort of shooting up multiple schools at the same exact time.

I can’t verify my information but according to someone familiar with the Hopewell incident there are injuries

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

Reported for misinformation then.

What about "stop spreading unconfirmed infmormation" don't you understand???
James19991 t1_je5dh3y wrote
If anyone was injured, it was from the panic of trying to get out of the building because of the hoax

I hope so for everyone’s health

This is what happens when people start just saying the first thing they heard. Now everybodybthinks they know something and nobody knows anything.

That’s why I put my disclaimer in.

Please, post official news sources only, and don't speculate.

I think we would know for sure by now if there was a real shooter involved.....

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.

Wouldn't surprise me either way.
[deleted] OP t1_je5ennb wrote
The article you responded to saying it’s stupid to spread contained the Pennsylvania State Police saying they believe it’s a coordinated swatting attack.
So many shuttup and follow your own advice.

I see u/RuinLoes blocked me like the snowflake they are for calling them out.

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.

It is apparently a lot of hoax calls.
