ROGERS, Ark. — Rogers High School briefly went into lockdown Friday, Oct. 8, night due to false reports of gunfire following a high school football game.
The Rogers Police Department responded to a report of a shooting at the school. Officers who were already on campus began to search the campus and building. They began emergency protocols and immediately notified Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Mayor. The Rogers Fire Department soon responded and other police departments responded as well to offer help.
Officials began an immediate lockdown of students at the football field, field house, and the Homecoming Dance.
Once the officers concluded the search, they were able to report it was a false alarm. Officials say the report was a good faith call because the caller reacted appropriately after they thought they heard gunshots.
After determining there was no active shooter, students were released.
The Rogers Fire Department took to social media to squash the rumor and said the all-clear had been given.
This is incident is still being investigated.
