NEW: Several 'Prank' Calls About Shootings at Illinois Schools Reported Wednesday, Sparking Police Response
The false report in Rockford led to a heavy police presence surrounding and inside Rockford East High School as authorities said they took the call"very seriously."
Students were being dismissed for the day and classes were canceled, with plans to resume on Thursday. Counselors, social workers and psychologists were also being made available for those who need them. "We’re working with Rockford Police as they continue to investigate," Parker said."We are grateful for the quick response from Rockford Police and the cooperation from our students and staff. Again, this is the best-case scenario of a terrible situation."
"This morning, we were made aware that a call was made to 911 alleging there was an active shooter inside our school building," Principal Rickey Harris wrote in a letter to parents."We immediately engaged the Chicago Police Department to investigate this situation and the CPS Office of Safety and Security was also notified. CPD immediately responded and it was confirmed that the call was made as a prank.
