At least five schools throughout Utah on Wednesday received unfounded threats and false shooting calls, prompting police responses and leaving teachers, students and parents rattled.
“That is not OK,” Deputy Fire Chief Shelby Willis with the Ogden Fire Department said, speaking of a false shooting call made to Ogden High School on Wednesday. “We have to be better than this as human beings.”
The high school as well as some of the district’s other schools all went into “security protocol” as a precaution. “We are working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies to further investigate this and other unfounded active shooter reports,” Salt Lake City police said Wednesday.
