Troopers, Deputies, Police, Were Swatted (Pranked) Statewide Today

March 30, 2023

Fake 9-1-1 calls about school shootings came in today to law enforcement across the state. This happened at schools in Olean, Jamestown, Brockport, Lockport and other places in New York State today.

Statement From State Teachers Union NYSUT: New York State United Teachers released the following response to numerous “swatting” calls aimed at schools throughout the state today, on the heels of a similar round of hoaxes in suburban Rochester last week. As our nation reels and mourns schoolchildren lost in yet another mass shooting, today’s incidents are a new low in callousness and depravity. These swatting attacks endanger our brave members of law enforcement, terrorize children, educators and parents, and waste valuable resources. We know the FBI and local law enforcement are doing everything they can to catch these perpetrators, and we look forward to the day when they are brought to justice.”
