** School active shooter alerts in Pittsburgh, elsewhere in state a hoax ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
“When I got the call, the teacher I was talking to was hysterically crying,” Ash White said. “I came all the way from Schenley Park where I live. I kicked my neighbor’s door in and just took their car key cause I don’t have my own car.”
White's son Tristian, a 9th grader, said that he and classmates thought there was an active shooter in the school, so they barricaded their classroom using desks and chairs.
Allegheny County officials announced late in the morning that reports of active shooter events in area schools were false. But by that time, anxiety spurred by the hoaxes and by the nation’s relentless violence had interrupted the normal comings and goings of hundreds, if not thousands, of people and left nerves jangled.
