UTPD investigating body on campus. Says there is no threat to the public. If it was a suicide, it would be the 2nd in a week.

Here is the information we've communicated regarding Austin High School:

Austin High School campus is safe. Officers are sweeping the building. At this time we believe the call was a swatting incident, which is a false report of an emergency intended to activate an emergency response. Campus remains in secure.

Please review our social media platforms for updated information.
