AUGUSTA - Following last November s swatting incident, that impacted ten Maine schools, State Legislator s are coming together with bi-partisan support to update Maine s existing false reporting regulations.
Ten schools in Maine were swatted on Nov. 15, leading to scores of students barricading themselves in their classrooms, armed police officers roaming school hallways looking for nonexistent shooters, and parents wondering if they would see their children again.
The bill is a response to the false active shooter reports that were made at 10 Maine schools last November. The reports triggered a massive police response across the state.
