BREAKING: PSP investigating unfounded threats at high schools across the Commonwealth as a result of swatting

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Our team at @PAStatePolice is investigating multiple unfounded threats at high schools across Pennsylvania today. These reports are products of cruel swatting incidents — when someone calls in a fake threat to induce panic.

Swatting is illegal — and I've directed the PA State Police to work with our local partners and use every resource at their disposal to find whoever called in these fake threats and hold them accountable.

This was a scary morning — for parents, students, and educators alike. I'm grateful no one was hurt, and thankful for our members of local law enforcement who ran towards danger to keep Pennsylvanians safe.

Tonight, Pennsylvania tragically lost one of our finest when State Police Corporal Tim O’Connor was killed in the line of duty.

I was at Paoli Hospital this evening with Corporal O’Connor’s wife Casey and his parents Maureen and Tim. My heart breaks for Tim and Casey’s young daughter and their entire family.

Lori and I mourn with the Pennsylvania State Police family and with all of our law enforcement partners. I’ve directed flags across our Commonwealth to be lowered Monday in honor of Corporal O’Connor.

May his memory be a blessing.
