Nationwide Schools Respond to Active Shooter Hoax Threats

First responders swarmed several Utah schools after receiving reports of shots being fired, but all reports turned out to be hoaxes. No injuries have been reported, and law enforcement officials are securing each building in accordance with safety protocols. Parents and the public are being asked to avoid the school areas and to keep an eye on official news and police sources to confirm any reports. Perpetrators of school shooting hoaxes could face federal charges, including prison time. Similar hoaxes have been reported in other American cities in recent days.
