Twin Falls law enforcement officers dispatched personnel to Canyon Ridge High School on Tuesday afternoon following a false report of an explosive device. The incident, described by officials as a “swatting” event, stemmed from an anonymous phone call received by a school employee claiming a bomb was inside the facility at 300 Park Plaza Dr.
As first reported by magicvalley.com, authorities investigated the threat and determined it to be a hoax. No explosion occurred, and the situation was resolved without further incident. Swatting involves making fraudulent emergency calls to divert police resources and cause unnecessary disruption. Local agencies continue to monitor such threats to ensure campus safety.
