As Maine voters go to the polls, several high schools in the state have been targeted by so-called "swatting" incidents, according to Maine State Police. That's when bogus calls to police claim the presence of an active shooter, and are designed to generate a disruptive police response.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows says none of the calls have disrupted voting. In one case, a call was directed at Noble High School in North Berwick, which is not a polling location.
A Facebook post says Noble High School "initiated crisis procedures" and students will be dismissed once first responders secure the building's perimeter, though school authorities believe the call was a hoax.
