Fake bomb threats sent to Minnesota schools and Jewish institutions, MPR, 12/6/23

More than two dozen public schools and nine Jewish institutions in Minnesota received fake shooting and bombing threats Wednesday in an apparent effort to draw large law enforcement responses.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said the threats came by email, and the wording in each of them is nearly identical.

Investigators say they appear to be swatting incidents, where someone makes a phony threat in an attempt to draw a SWAT team to a particular address.
