Multiple schools in the Chicago area and Illinois have been targeted by false active shooter threats in what appears to be a nationwide trend, school officials said.
"We have since been informed that prank calls have affected other schools in other cities around the country today, not just Whitney Young," Principal Sylvia Harris wrote in a letter to parents. "We're working with Rockford Police as they continue to investigate," East High School Principal Jim Parker said in a statement. "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."
