York County SC as well as surrounding counties recently received hoax calls to the sheriff's offices about active shootings at or around local schools.
I heard the one in York County brought out the local Swat Teams a helicopter from Charlotte NC as well as SLED. (State police answer to the FBI)
The link to our local fish wrap says this is something that is happening nationwide.
Hopefully it is a federal crime and our FBI gets involved. Those persons committing this crime need to go away for a long time

Existing law forbids making fake crime reports on police emergency lines. The problem is that real caller ID is harder than people think it is. Cell phones will report their GPS coordinates, but if the caller is not home, that's not much help. Voice over IP lines pass caller ID strings which are ridiculously easy to spoof, which is why you get spam calls with the same texts or voice messages from a different number every time.

'All clear' given after security scare at Supreme Court
Police investigating a "suspicious package" outside of the U.S. Supreme Court gave the "all clear" Thursday afternoon.

People outside the building were pushed back around 1 p.m. as police responded to a report of a "suspicious package" on the front steps.....
