Hornell School System Was ALMOST Swatted

There was an attempt yesterday to SWAT a Hornell School. Police Chief Ted Murray says that the Hornell Police Department quickly determined that it was a “swatting” or prank call, and the school was not evacuated.  Hornell Police got this call after news broke, that there had been swatting incidents in Olean, Jamestown and elsewhere.   There were, however, numerous swatting incidents yesterday in Olean, Jamestown, Brockport, Lockport and in Putnam County.  At the same that all this was hapening, the state assembly Republicans released a report about school safety.   The report was written by GOP Assembly members, and the panel headed up by Republican Joe Giglio.  “The increased acts of aggression and violence in our schools are senseless and gut-wrenching, and we must work diligently to prevent further tragedy<" said Giglio.  "Working together with parents, school personnel and law enforcement officials to craft meaningful and actionable steps was critical to provide solutions which best protect our students and secure our school grounds. This report is the result of invaluable insight and experience shared by these key stakeholders from across the state. Now, it is imperative that the conversation in Albany begins in earnest to achieve the necessary actionable steps to address violence in our schools.”
