Shooting threat at NKC school unfounded

NORTH KANSAS CITY — A report of a shooting threat at North Kansas City High School has been determined to be unfounded, according to Clay County Sheriff’s Office.

“It appears to be a possible swatting incident very similar to what happened at the school last year. At about 11:50 a.m., someone with an accent that was difficult to understand called the North Kansas City Police Department’s non-emergency phone number and reported multiple people had been shot in a specific room,” said Sarah Boyd, the sheriff’s office public relations manager. “No other 911 calls were received to corroborate the report.”
