Pitt just activated the ENS alert
Pitt just sent out emergent alert for a ‘critical incident’ at Central Catholic and to avoid the area
That’s about 3 blocks from me. Sirens everywhere, and I can hear the helicopter

We're in lockdown in my building at Pitt.

My nephew goes to school in Fayette county and they were on lockdown for a false alarm shooting this morning. My sister was just alerted that there have been calls like this nationwide today.
Edit: more schools https://www.wtaj.com/news/local-news/police-swarm-multiple-local-schools-after-reports-of-shootings-believed-to-be-hoax/
So did CMU - "URGENT CMU Alert: There is a large police presence at Central Catholic High School, next door to CMU residential buildings. Please avoid the area.
i'm with my partner at Magee for a doctors appointment and it's been nothing but sirens for the last half hour.
>However, the calls are believed to be computer generated swatting calls
Holy fuck, they were robo-calls?
Just got an email from the vice dean of the Pitt school I work in that there has been a confirmed shooter. I don't know if I trust that yet.
I believe there also a call to Hopewell in Beaver County.
My neighbor just told me the same, she lives in the area and has been hearing a bunch of sirens
Same- email from 10 minutes ago that says confirmed shooting at central catholic, shooter at large.
same, hearing conflicting info
Hopefully, but please don't spread guesses before there is real info on the situation.

I think that was bad information, and I don't know why she wrote that.
Carlow university just said no active shooter 11.08am
Yeah I'm also not seeing that confirmed anywhere else. Not a great email to send out to the entire department without reliable information!!
It’s a whole thing affecting west PA counties, after a shooting of some kind asshole kids, foreigners, or adults will call in a hoax shooting just to rile people and police up or to skip school
I think it was really problematic that they sent that out. Official communication like that should be very careful about what they write.
I never spread guesses. I posted reports of this happening at other schools in the region this morning. My nephews school is reporting to parents that this is a nationwide issue today and not an isolated incident. I hope the situation at CC is as well.
Hoax going on across the state
That is the definitok of a guess. You had absolutey no relevant info.
Thanksfully it truns out it was a hoax
I’ve been listening to the scanner all morning. A Central Catholic student called UPMC Police who then called regular Police stating that there were “6 people shot in a second floor bathroom.”
Police responded and found no active shooter or victims, however they are locking down and evacuating as a precaution.
People are calling in fake threats all across the state.
​
being so nervous. I have an eight year old nephew in school right now. I can't concentrate on anything but the news
Laurel highlands, central catholic, holidaysburg, Altoona, hopewell. These schools all had shooter reports today. News is reporting it as nationwide robocall hoax.
I never said any were hoaxes. I came in initially saying a similar situation was happening at my nephews school an hour outside the city at the same time and found other schools in the area were as well.
What the fuck
Yeah that was definitely a problematic email. Just got the all clear email and that classes are cancelled for the remainder of the day. This shit is wild... and depressing.
Why lie?
Update: Pitt has ended its lockdown, students are able to leave buildings now. It seems it was indeed a hoax, or series of hoaxes across the state
Confirmed hoax. Students are safe and police are clearing the building to be sure
People are assholes and wanna stir the pot for their own twisted reasons
If they are caught, there should be serious penalties for this. Very serious.
I blurred out information that could dox them.
Update: that dean sent out an email a couple of hours later apologizing for spreading false information.
Whats with the petty bullshit in this thread....
You mean the petty bullshit that you started? Lol
