Multiple Texas colleges experience swatting incidents
Multiple colleges in Texas experienced swatting incidents on Thursday after police received calls of active threats and shooters on campus that they later determined to be hoaxes.
The incidents happened at Collin College, a public community college located in northeastern Texas, Baylor University and Galen College of Nursing in San Antonio. It is unclear if the incidents are related to each other.
Plano Police issued a “code red” for a possible active shooter at Collin College and sent officers into the college’s buildings to search for any threat.
No injuries were found, and the police department later posted that it had received a 911 call that it determined to be a hoax. It said the call was quickly determined to be false.
