West Bridgewater students used app to mimic gunfire in 'prank' threat, police say
Briefly

West Bridgewater police will increase their presence at schools after students made prank calls threatening violence, using an app to simulate gunfire sounds.
The students, while on a bus, threatened local businesses about a school shooting, which led to police interviews but found the threats were not credible.
Authorities justified their increased school presence as a precautionary measure despite police concluding that the threats made were indeed non-credible.
Recent incidents in Massachusetts, including an online threat at McDevitt Middle School, have caused disruptions, leading to increased police patrols around schools.
