Russian hackers take credit for string of robocalls threatening violence at schools

Spokane was just one of hundreds of cities nationwide, and even across the world, that were victim to a series of robocalls threatening violence at schools.

The calls came in about 2:30pm in Spokane, but dozens of others cities had just gone through the same drill hours before.

Police say in the calls a recorded voice threatens violence at the school, although does not specifically name any school. The recording repeats itself several times, and then disconnects. This is the latest round of these kinds of calls. It’s happening with more and more frequency.

Today eight schools in the Spokane Public School District got the call: Salk, Sacajawea, Shaw, and Glover middle schools, Rogers High School, Stevens, Willard, and Wilson elementary. All eight were locked down while police and school officials investigated. When they determined there was not threat, the students were released. In the Mead School District Shiloh Hills Elementary got one of the robocalls and actually evacuated out of an abundance of caution. For the full article click here
