State police in Cambria County say an investigation is underway after a false active shooter threat was made Thursday afternoon.
Authorities say troopers were dispatched to the Ebensburg Center, located along Admiral Peary Highway, just before 1 p.m. Thursday following reports of an alleged active shooter at the facility.
Police say the reports were quickly deemed to be unfounded, following a search of the building, and authorities say no active incident occurred.
Investigators note that the threat resulted in nearby schools, including the local Vo Tech, to be placed in a brief lockdown.
Troopers say they are actively working to determine who made the false reports and anyone with information is asked to contact PSP Ebensburg at 814-472-1653.
