CONWAY, Ark. (AP) – Police in central Arkansas say a 6-year-old child used a
disconnected cellphone to call 911 and falsely report that several people had
been shot at an elementary school.
The Conway Police Department says officers rushed to Marguerite Vann
Elementary School after the call came in Monday afternoon from a young caller
who said five people had been shot. Police say the child stayed on the phone but
that the story was “continually changing.”
Police say officers quickly determined that the phone call was a prank but
searched the school as a precaution.
Conway police say the child’s parents were home but did not realize the phone,
which didn’t have cell service, could still make an emergency call.
