Overview
- Police in Porter County say an unknown caller told dispatch they were outside Portage High School with a rifle and a handgun around 11:10 a.m. Wednesday.
- As officers moved toward the campus, the caller said they would go inside and then hung up.
- The district ordered lockdowns across schools as officers cleared the high school and checked for any threat.
- Police report no evidence the threat is credible, and the investigation remains active to find the caller.
- Agencies from nearby towns increased patrols at other schools, a standard step that keeps students and staff in place until police give an all-clear.
