Investigation underway into series of hoax school shooter calls across Tennessee

Schools in East Tennessee and across the state were targeted by false active shooter calls on Wednesday, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. None of the reports have proven credible and there is no known immediate threat to public safety at this time. The TBI announced that they are working with “state and federal partners to determine the source of several hoax calls” to local law enforcement agencies reporting an active shooter at high schools across the state.
