Washington's Palouse School went into lockdown due to a false swatting report of a shooting.
The Palouse School in Washington went into lockdown Friday due to a false report of a shooting made by an anonymous caller claiming to have killed their mother and being suicidal. This incident, classified as "swatting," prompted a significant law enforcement response, which confirmed no shooting occurred. The investigation continues to identify the caller, who is believed to be located outside the area or possibly abroad. False reporting like this is illegal but difficult to prosecute.
