Governor Hochul says more than 50 school districts received false reports of serious emergencies on Tuesday alone.
"Swatting" calls, named for the police Special Weapons and Tactics teams that typically respond to emergencies, involve the false reporting of dangerous, potentially life-threatening incidents, such as a bomb threat, active shooter, hostage situation, or homicide.Police are working to pinpoint the source of the "swatting" calls.
On Friday Hochul said most "swatting" incidents are computer-generated and "probably in this case, they're foreign actors." "What I want parents to know that we are taking every single incident seriously," the governor said. "We treat it as if it's real. But the reality is this is meant to disrupt and cause chaos in our school system, and indeed, society."
