St. Louis County 911 receives "swatting" calls
Today, the St Louis County Sheriff's Office 911 Division received several calls during the noon hour in reference to school shootings. These calls were determined to be false in what has become known as “SWATTing”. The calls appear to have gone to several media outlets, as well as some police departments directly. Though some of the calls have a 218 area code, they appear to have originated outside of the area. There is no active threat.
