ALARM: No Active Shooter At Costco In Clifton, Police Say
A report of shots fired led to what turned out to be the unfounded fear of an active shooter at the Costco in Clifton. "It was a call of shots fired" on Sunday afternoon, March 20, Clifton Police Lt.

A large law enforcement contingent converged on the Bridewell Place store off Route 3. Word spread rapidly on social media, fueling fears and further misinformation -- as well as a report of a TV crew in…

Paterson High School Lockdown Ends Quietly Following Report Of Gunman Seeking Revenge
UPDATE: The words "active shooter" terrified some parents of students at a Paterson high school -- when, in fact, it was the term used by authorities to describe the law enforcement response to a report Wednesday that an assault victim had gone there with a gun.

Kennedy High School, which was temporarily locked down before city police and Passaic County tactical units arrived.

Bergen Prosecutor: Rockland Stalker's Bogus 'Active Shooter' Call Brings SWAT To Park Ridge
UPDATE (MAY 8, 2019): As coincidences go, it's odd: A bogus 911 "active shooter" call that brought a SWAT team and swarms of other responders to a Park Ridge home had nothing to do with a bank robbery across town that occurred at almost the same time, authorities said. Questions of a possible connection arose after authorities last week announced that Austin Parks, 48, of Spring Valley had been charged with making the April 17 call. However, a senior law enforcement official told Daily Voice that the call was "unrelated...oddly" to the robbery at nearly the same time of an Oritani Bank bra…
