This was not a prank, nor will it be treated like one, the district said. Author: Adrianne M Haney Updated: 11:57 PM EST February 24, 2021
COBB COUNTY, Ga. A code red alert that sent classrooms across the Cobb County School district into lockdown earlier this month later turned out to be a false alarm. But now, the school system says police have evidence that someone was able to get into the emergency alert system and purposely activate the false alarm.
The district s emergency alert system, AlertPoint, sent principals and employees an alarm message that immediately prompted all campuses into lockdown status.
