CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Due to recent events in Uvalde, there's always the threat of copy cat crimes, such as what took place in Victoria, Texas.
According to the Victoria County Sheriff's Office at about 11 a.m. Wednesday they received a call concerning a mass casualty event at one of their elementary schools.
Investigators said the caller relayed obvious false information about their observations and that was supported by "cell phone geographical data".
They said their deputies sprang into action, but there was no credible threat there Wednesday.
Authorities are currently investigating the false report.
