Last spring, dozens of schools in Washington were put on lockdown during a string of swatting hoax calls. Our schools were just a sliver of the hundreds of schools across the nation affected by the same false emergency.
The hoax delayed actual calls for service, put families on edge, and wasted millions in law enforcement response nationwide and in Washington.
Captain Edgar Reinfeld with Wenatchee Police Department told FOX 13 something about the 9-11 call seemed off. Because of WPD’s relationship with the district’s school resource officers they were able to figure out in less than 2 minutes the whole thing was a hoax. They’d been swatted.
