False report of shooting investigated at Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth
A report of a shooting at Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth on Thursday afternoon was a false alarm, according to police and school officials.
No one was shot, a Fort Worth ISD spokesperson said.
Police received a call about 1:20 p.m. on a nonemergency line from someone claiming that a person was shot in a bathroom at the school, at 4501 West Freeway Service Road Eastbound, according to a police call log.
Officers who responded found no evidence of a shooting.
The school district said officials are investigating the source of the report.
School activities appeared to be continuing as normal on the campus Thursday afternoon.
The false report comes after two shootings at campuses in Dallas-Fort Worth earlier this week. A 16-year-old student was killed in a shooting Monday outside Lamar High School in Arlington, and a student was injured in a shooting on the campus of Thomas Jefferson High in Dallas on Tuesday.
