We want to inform you of a situation that may impact our schools with questions and concerns. Marysville 911 and some of our schools have received several calls regarding an armed individual near school campuses in Marysville. While Marysville Police Department will continue investigating, they and the Mount Vernon Police Department believe these are intentional false reports similar to the "swatting" that occurred around the region several weeks ago.
There is no known threat to our schools. We will remain vigilant and continue to work with the Marysville Police Department for the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
These calls are from a female and originate from Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon Police Department is investigating to determine the origin of the calls. These incidents are happening with more frequency across the country. It is an intentionally false report with seemingly specific information about an active shooter situation. These are extremely concerning and a reminder of how important it is to verify facts before sharing information about a reported threat.
