There was an active shooter hoax in Glen Allen almost a year ago.  Maybe this is a repeat.

Henrico Police: No sign of ‘active shooter’ at Moody Middle; school remains on lockdown

HENRICO, Va. (WWBT) - Henrico police say there are no signs of an active shooter at Moody Middle School after receiving a call via text to 911.

Police were called to the school along Woodman Road on Monday.

Police are at the scene and there are no reported injuries. Henrico Public Schools also said “all students are safe, and there is no indication any students are hurt.”

Officers continue to clear the school door-by-door to ensure everyone’s safety.

Students remain in their classrooms in a “lock and teach” mode while police complete their search, authorities said.

“However, at this time, there is no evidence of an actual active shooter, and no evidence that our students are in harm’s way,” schools said in a release.

The source of the text message to 911 is being investigated.

Parents are being directed to North Run Baptist Church for information and reunification.

Woodman Road between Lourdes Road and Norman Avenue is closed while first responders clear the area.

Burner phone.  No trail if the person is not a total idiot and left a paper trail.

Yep, and likely if it could be traced, they'd be on a first name basis with one of the gun-grabbers there.
