An auto corrected text message, accidentally sent to the wrong number, was the catalyst to lockdowns Wednesday at West Hall middle and high schools.
Just before noon, law enforcement and school officials issued the lockdowns after a West Hall community member reported a threatening text message.
The text, saying "gunman be at west hall today," was received and reported to police around 11:30 a.m. But after police tracked the number, they learned the auto correct feature on the new cellphone changed "gunna" to "gunman."
The message being sent to the wrong number added to the confusion.
As law enforcement learned of the text message, the schools were notified to go into lockdown as authorities investigated the origins of the message. Full story...
