Local, state and federal law enforcement were at schools around the state within minutes after active shooter threats.
These threats thankfully turned out to be a hoax but not after agencies executed emergency responses and students, parents and staff were shaken up emotionally.
It was a stressful morning as this unfolded across the state at 10 schools including Gardiner Area High School and Sanford High School.
Law enforcement responded to the reports at these two schools like this was an active shooter -- a caller telling Gardiner dispatch there were multiple injuries, which all later turned out to not be true.
Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sauschuck spoke at a press conference at 10 a.m. Tuesday morning saying to those responsible, we’re coming after you.
