Hoax at Deaf School

A hoax led to the evacuation of the California School for the Deaf in Fremont this morning. A caller reported a shooter on campus who had wounded 40 people. Officers surrounded the school and the buildings were cleared. While the emergency notification system at the school worked well, no gunman was found. Many parents picked up their children, even though classes resumed. An investigation is underway to determine who made the call.
