Multiple schools across Kansas receive fake shooting calls

1 March 2023

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Several schools across the area have been receiving threats of active shootings.

So far, Wichita North High, El Dorado, and the Topeka districts have all been called. All calls have been false and unfounded.

USD 259 released this statement:

We were notified by PD that they received a call around 8 am. The school immediately went into lockout/lockdown while WPD, North admin and security checked the entire building and gave an all-clear about 15 minutes later. WPD believes this to be another hoax call, similar to the one we received in September.
