Hoover High locked down following fake threat

FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — Hoover High School in Fresno was placed on lockdown after a call was received about a shooting on campus.

The caller said he was hiding in a restroom and couldn't move because of blood on the floor.

Police say the call possibly came from out of the country and the caller had a Middle Eastern accent and sounded older.

Police are swarming the campus and checking every bathroom and classroom and determined it to be a hoax.

The Fresno Fire Department and EMS were also at the scene just in case.

The lockdown has been lifted.
