A report of an active shooter yesterday at St. John's Prep School in Danvers, Mass. turned out to be a swatting hoax, but the police response was "ramped up" when an officer responding to the incident accidentally discharged his gun, the CBS News website reportrs today (May 23, 2023).
No threat was found at the school of 1,450 students, and no one was hurt. But the frightening incident and sound of gunshot sent students running from the building. Classes are canceled today.
"During the search process there was an accidental discharge of a firearm... that resulted in an increased response from area departments," Danvers Police Chief James Lovell said.
