Fake Gun Call Hits Kearney High | Lincoln News

0:00It's September 11th. Lincoln news today starts now. AI powered and ready. Yo, so check it. Karney High School guy hit with a swatting call Friday morning. Someone dialed 911. One claiming a student had a gun. But here's the kicker. The call came from a fake number and no actual crime went down. This whole thing is being called, damning. Which is basically when someone makes up a fake crime to get law enforcement to show up. This isn't the first time this has happened in Nebraska either. Schools and pinder and garing have dealt with similar fake calls. It's a form of harassment and the cops are looking into it. They're treating these damning calls as a felony and the penalties can be serious for those caught doing it. The after-action chief Dave Mundorf said they're tired of these false alarms, but they'll always respond to any report about their students and staff. Say, de first, you know? They're asking anyone with info to hit up Karney High at 308, 7547000 or the Karney Police Department at 308, 237, 1212.

1:04Right now, the investigation is ongoing. They're trying to track down who's behind these fake calls and put a stop to it. It's a serious issue that wastes resources and causes unnecessary panic. So yeah, just another day where someone tries to stir up trouble with a fake emergency. Hopefully, they catch the person responsible and make an example out of them.
