Every post is getting deleted to stop speed of misinformation I’m assuming

Seems to be a false alarm, the same phone number appeared to make calls to several districts claiming there would be a shooting. More details to come I assume

I think we’re all hearing something different, my mother is a teacher in a nearby district everything on her end is leading towards it being fake. Obviously, we’re all waiting for some sort of confirmation press conference or otherwise

Don’t spread misinformation. Don’t speculate about shooters or casualties. Wait for facts to be confirmed by the police and news outlets.

None of that means it’s a real call.

When the initial call came in, resources were deployed. Just because police are on scene, and medical personnel are being put on notice, doesn’t mean it’s not a hoax.

It’s false. You are rampantly speculating, and it’s harmful.

I'm not rampantly doing shit buddy. I'm reporting what I've heard from people actually on scene. General confusion isn't misinformation, for fuck's sake.

Reporting hearsay as fact is, in fact, speculation.

Is this from your two husbands? Or your PT wife?

This is misinformation!! He only mentioned his two husbands. There is no mention of a PT wife.

I know reading comprehension is hard. It's from the husbands of two of my coworkers. Like I said, one works at the ER at Goodall, and the other is a cop in Wells. I'd like to think they're slightly better sources then Twitter, but that's just me.

> I have two husbands, one got called into Goodall for mass casualty event, and another one is a cop in Wells and currently deployed to Sanford Highschool.

I don’t think their problem is reading comprehension— it’s that you write nonsense.

If your hearing it from a student, or the parents of students, it's almost certainly bullshit. The shit that has been spreading through my daughter's school 10+ miles from Sanford is insane, snapchat is 100% misinformation, and parents are also spreading the crap they're hearing from their kids on Facebook, scaring the crap out of other parents.

Every single authority is saying hoax right now, I've spent 40 minutes listening to the Sanford police scanner, they're not concerned, casually clearing and checking every part of the school, making sure everyone is accounted for, no talk of actual suspects, shooting, danger, anything.

The Sanford police scanner has confirmed no shooter for the past hour or so I've been tuned in. What are you listening to that makes you think this wasn't a hoax?

My kid goes to Spaulding in Rochester NH, they're now also locking down themselves, apparently out of abundance of caution. The amount of misinformation going around already is insane, my daughter is saying that all of her classmates are sharing multiple casualties at Sanford on social media, which is getting more ridiculous as it continues making the rounds and people add to the bullshit.

Been listening to the Sanford Police scanner for 25 minutes, they're going through the school clearing every nook and cranny while they round up any teachers and students unaccounted for. I've heard no talk of actual shooters, danger, any concern from the officers. Doesn't mean that there 100% wasn't an issue, it's feasible that they could be keeping certain things off their main channel to prevent panic, but extremely unlikely IMO. They did mention that the caller who phoned in the alleged active shooter provided a suspect name, "Mike" something, I won't even attempt say what I think the last name said was, not only because it was difficult to make out, but primarily because I don't want further spread of misinformation / witch hunts.

Portland also allegedly got a similar active shooter report phoned in, state police currently calling that one a hoax as well.

edit Jesus, the parents are just as bad, if not worse than the kids. I guess Facebook parent / school groups with multiple parents posting stuff like reports of 5 dead in Sanford, a shootout in Portland and someone roaming the halls with a gun at my kids school, some are getting deleted but others apparently haven't yet. At least one parent claimed he was headed to the school with his AR, that also seems to have been removed pretty quickly. What is wrong with people? Why would a parent immediately take a text from their child about an alleged shooting at school 15 miles away as accurate enough to post publicly and scare the crap out of other parents before first checking to see if it's credible?

The “Mike” name that was given, was the same name given at all of the other schools as well. State Police already have the cell phone ping and caller data from the carrier.

Yeah, so this hoaxer needs to be made an example of. They should get jail time / juvenile detention time and be forced to spend their years from 18 to 28 working to repay the cities and towns for the costs incurred responding to this bullshit.

As someone who has spent time nearly every weekend for a year walking the outer grounds at my local high school he could start by picking up trash outside and in the parking lot. Custodians don’t have time for that shit. (I do it to get a walk in and help get plastic etc into the trash)

PPH News article said it was VOIP call. Where are you reading that the state police have pinged a suspect's cell phone?

I have a spouse and friends working at different area schools, some are on lockdown. The word from all and my own district is that it’s a hoax.
