MSP Confirms Reports of Active Shooter Situations at Schools are Not Credible

On Tuesday morning November 5, 2024, various crisis lines in Maine received threats of armed individuals on multiple school campuses around the state. The Maine State Police are working with our various partners and can confirm these initial calls were swatting incidents intended to provoke an emergency response. There is presently no known threat to the students, staff or public at this time. The Department of Public Safety encourages law enforcement and school leadership to continue to use due diligence when reviewing any new potential threats.
