The FBI is taking swatting incidents in Greater Kansas City area seriously, according to a spokesman.
The FBI’s Kansas City Division has been made aware of swatting threats to several area schools in Missouri and Kansas, the spokesman stated.
Swatting is where a fake report of an active shooter at a school is made.
“The FBI takes swatting very seriously because it puts innocent people at risk,” the spokesman stated. “While we have no information to indicate a specific and credible threat, we will continue to work with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners to gather, share and act upon threat information as it comes to our attention.
“We urge the public to remain vigilant, and report any and all suspicious activity and-or individuals to law enforcement immediately,” the spokesman stated.
