Law enforcement locked down Brockton and several local schools after learning of a possible shooting in the works.
The call came to the 911 Dispatch Center Monday, January 3, 2022, at 10:40 a.m., alleging a student at Brockton High School was planning a school shooting, Roosevelt County Sheriff Jason Frederick said.
Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Deputies and Fort Peck Tribal Police responded, he said.
For a hour, area schools were locked down while law enforcement investigated the call. It was determined to be a hoax, and there was no danger of a shooting.
