TBI Investigating Multiple Hoax School Shooter Calls

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) announced Wednesday that it was investigating a series of hoax phone calls made to schools around the state alerting them to potential school shootings.

“DEVELOPING: TBI is currently working with state and federal partners to determine the source of several hoax calls, placed to local law enforcement agencies, reporting an active shooter at several high schools in the state,” TBI said Wednesday on Twitter.

“At this time, none of these reports has proven credible and there is no known immediate threat to public safety at this time,” TBI said in a follow-up tweet.

The organization later said that multiple other law enforcement entities are also investigating.

“Local, state, and federal authorities continue to jointly investigate the source of the recent hoax calls. Those efforts show Tennessee is one of many states impacted by this,” TBI said. “State authorities continue to investigate the situation and work with law enforcement counterparts nationwide to identify and hold accountable the person/s responsible for the calls.”

Tennessee remains on edge after 28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who identified as transgender, shot and killed six people at The Covenant School in Nashville in late March.

Yes, Every Kid

In the time since the shooting, the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has promised the release of Hale’s manifesto (which they later said was a collection of “dated journals”) as the public eagerly awaits information on the mass killer’s motive.

Multiple lawsuits demanding the release of the manifesto have been filed.

Thursday, The Tennessee Star reported that those hearings in those lawsuits have been pushed to a later date, adding to what is becoming a tense showdown between law enforcement and the public.

According to The Star:

The judge hearing lawsuits demanding the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department release the Covenant School killer’s manifesto has pushed back a show cause hearing on the litigation as MNPD attempts to maneuver around Tennessee’s public record laws.

It appears the police department and its attorneys are going to try to bury the plaintiffs — and the court — in paper.

Tennessee 20th Judicial District Chancery Court Judge I’Ashea Myles originally had ordered a show cause hearing for May 11 to examine whether the MNPD has failed to comply with public records laws.

At a hearing Wednesday afternoon with plaintiffs’ representatives and MNPD legal counsel, Myles scheduled a status conference hearing for 1 p.m. May 18, and extended the show cause hearing to June 8, also at 1 p.m., according to an attorney who attended the hearing.

5 Thoughts to “TBI Investigating Multiple Hoax School Shooter Calls”

  1. Corruption in FBI

    Just like the Las Vegas Shooting, the Parkland School Shootong & the Fake Jan 6 ” Insurrection”, & the Hunter Biden Laptop, the FBI is the controller of information. WHY in this case? The Covenant Shooting should be investigated by MNPD & TBI. The FBI is not needed in Nashville to ” handle the Shooters Manifesto”.
    WHO IS CALLING THE SHOTS? AND WHY?

    Maybe is would be helpful if law enforcement would go a head and release Audrey Hale’s writings. Give us a clue as to what these people are thinking. What are they hiding???

    And the stall continues. Apparently the mentally ill killer made the mistake of putting into writing a bunch of information/facts that the leftwing nuts want to keep the public from reading. I assume that the hope is that we will get busy on other stuff and forget about it. Well, that is not going to happen with me. And why did the judge push this “show cause” hearing back? Are they one of the liberal judges that pollute our “justice” system?

    We are alsi receiving multiple scam callers identifying as a representative from the Sherriffs Association. The first call was answered by 12 year old who relayed that the caller was selling letters small $30 large $50 and they would be arriving in a few days. Caller used the line “Youre the first person to answer in 15minutes Caller also said that “its getting dangerous for cops, anyone with a badge is being shot at” when I learned of this, I called the Sherriff dispatch and explained this. About a week later, I answered the call same line about 15 minutes. I asked where did he get my number? He answered it was “in the phone book”, its not. I then told him he was mistaken. I asked what company do you work for? No answer and call went dead i *69 the last call. The phone number is generated out of TX from google voice. Yesterday, our local radio station, the hog 105.7 reported increase of scam calls, identifying as a local deputy sheriff asking for money. This is a scam. I do hope more comes to light on these attempts to fool tennesseans.
