Massachusetts officer accidentally fires gun while probing hoax school shooting

In northern Massachusetts, a police officer accidentally fired their gun while responding to a report of an active shooter at a school, which turned out to be a hoax. The incident occurred when the officer was alone in a school bathroom, causing a heightened law enforcement response due to the sound of the gunshot.

The police conducted a thorough search of the campus but found no shooter or victims. Some students from the all-boys Catholic school ran into nearby woods. The incident occurred just days before the one-year anniversary of a school shooting in Texas. The investigation is now focused on identifying the individual who made the hoax call and determining the cause of the accidental discharge. The school remained closed the following day, and there were no new updates from the state police.
