A swatting call results in a heavy police presence near Parker High School in Janesville.
The Rock County Communications Center says Janesville police and fire units and the sheriff’s office responded to a report of a person with a gunshot wound at about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday in the 600 block of Greenway Point Drive, across Mineral Point Avenue from Parker.
Janesville police Lt. Jennifer Seeger said officers found nobody with a gunshot wound at the scene and that they were notifying neighbors it was a swatting incident where somebody calls in a false report to trigger a police response. Seeger says there was no threat to the public.
A county dispatcher said Parker’s school resource officer was notified about the gunshot wound report. It’s not clear if the school ever was put on lockdown.
