"Officers responded that morning to Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School after a caller reported that they were in one of the school bathrooms and had a bomb and an AK-47 assault rifle, Fall River police said on Facebook. The caller also claimed that they were "in crisis," the department said. The school went into lockdown as police rushed to the school to "locate any threats," police said."
"When they arrived, however, they found no weapons or armed individuals, leading them to believe that the call was a hoax. Students were dismissed early due to the threat, and after school activities were also cancelled, school officials said on Facebook. Classes are expected to resume Thursday on a regular schedule. Police stayed at the school after the lockdown was lifted to aid with traffic and ensure that students were dismissed safely, the department said."
