Two calls within about 30 minutes reported active shooters at Eagle River and Lathrop high schools Wednesday afternoon, police say. Police said the calls were determined to be a hoax.
Anchorage Police Department officers respond to Eagle River High School on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022.
The source of the report remains under investigation. A police spokeswoman declined to answer additional questions Wednesday afternoon. A message from the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District to families said that all students were safe “and the threat has been confirmed to be fake.”In Anchorage, dozens of patrol cars could be seen speeding toward the Glenn Highway at the time of the Eagle River High School active shooter report.
Police directed school officials to lift the stay put at 1:56 p.m. and proceed with normal student release at 2 p.m., he said. “While a stay put incident can be an alarming experience for everyone involved, we responded in this manner to ensure the safety of all students and staff on campus until APD could verify the credibility of the threat. We appreciate APD’s quick response in this situation.”
