(From the Carl Junction Police Department)Today, Monday, March 27th, 2023 at 2:10 p.m., our department received a call stating that a shooting was occurring at the Carl Junction High School.
Our officers responded, and one of our school resource officers was on scene when the call was given out. He advised the school administration to activate the "shelter in place" procedure, which activates the High School and Junior High. The school resource officer proceeded through both schools as trained to do, and determined that there was no active shooter threat.
We have been advised that several other area departments received the same calls about school shootings in their jurisdictions, all of which turned out to be fake calls known as "swatting." These prank calls are happening across the country.
If you have any information about this incident, please contact the Carl Junction Police Department at 417-649-7070.
