Police in Pleasant Hill on Wednesday afternoon confirmed that officers were sent to investigate a report of a gunman near a middle school that were determined to be unfounded.
A Facebook post regarding the reports noted that the confusion stemmed from a call for service earlier in the day regarding an unhoused subject seen near the trail at the back of the school.
"That subject had left the area and no crimes occurred," the post said."There is no current threat to students or the public." The post also cautioned the public"in active situations, such as the one that was being reported on those apps, we will make every attempt to alert citizens through our Nixle alert program or other social media outlets."
Pleasant Hill Middle School is in the Mount Diablo School District and has students in sixth through eighth grades.
