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.
