Officials in Clinton, Iowa have not found evidence of any shooting. Reports are that several large schools in Eastern Iowa have received 911 calls reporting active shooters. Unfortunately it appears that this may have been a swatting incident.
This morning the Morrison School District was notified by the Morrison Police Department of a report of a possible active shooter in Clinton, Iowa. At this time those reports have not been confirmed. After discussion with the Morrison Police Department, we are in agreement that Morrison Schools will not go into lock down at this time. Out of an abundance of caution Morrison Police have increased their presence around the district buildings. The district will remain in close communication with the Morrison Police Department. Please note that at this time there is NO threat to the students or staff of the Morrison School District.
