"Central dispatch received a third-party call from a law enforcement official in Illinois who reported limited information about a possible school shooting. The official indicated that a male subject, claiming to be in Tell City, called him with indirect and non-specific details about a school shooting. ... A thorough sweep of the school was conducted by law enforcement officers and no concerns were noted.
"Detectives promptly tracked down the adult male Tell City resident that placed the initial call. It was determined that no credible information existed to substantiate a threat to our schools or community. Information that is delivered indirectly and without details often becomes misguided. However, our agency will always take proactive measures in the spirit of public safety."
