We just had I want to say one school shooting threat and another threat to shoot up a costco in just the last week.
This seems to be now a pretty consistent thing we're just going to live with. It sucks. I hate this timeline. >

I think 3 Walmarts in my area had false shooter reports last week or so. >

I wonder if someone is doing this to cry wolf before they go do it for real. Or perhaps doing this as a diversion to commit other crimes while police are busy with it? >

Had a similar thought.  Gauging the response? I don't know if school/mall-shooters are more likely to plan things out or do it in a passion though.   I keep seeing Ethiopia/Africa as a possible source, but I don't understand that motivation either.  I do expect some local (US) fuQwads to copycat this just to sow terror though. >


“This was a hoax call made by an unknown Google Number,” Beal said. “We understand that this phone call has been sent to other schools across Michigan this morning.”

Could be from anywhere in the world. >

Last I saw someone dig into this, they determined that these hoax calls in multiple states were almost certainly coming from Ethiopia.
I think the feds generally have an idea as to where these calls keep coming from, but with it being outside the US, it complicates matters. >

Ethiopia?!!! Supposedly the war is over so people have time to prank Americans?
