Update
Lockdown lifted at Marysville Pilchuck after false shooting threat
MARYSVILLE Marysville Pilchuck High School was locked down for three hours after a false active shooting threat was reported Friday morning, the day after the 10th anniversary of a mass shooting at the school.
Around 10 a.m. Friday morning, over a dozen officers from neighboring jurisdictions rushed to the school.
Officers searched the school. No one was injured. Just after noon, police left the school.
Authorities quickly learned the threat was likely a swatting attempt from an IP address in California, in which saboteurs deceive police into sending a huge emergency response with a fake report, said Marysville police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux on Friday. The report came via internet chat from a Veterans Crisis Line, according to police.
