03/30/23 Yonkers, NY - Shortly before 8 AM, Yonkers Police Headquarters received a telephone call reporting shots fired inside of Gorton High School. Within one minute the first police officer arrived on scene - officers proceeded to search the school which was placed into lockdown and determined that no shots were fired and the school was safe; the call was a hoax. The lockdown was lifted and the school resumed normal operations.
Yonkers Police investigators are working to identify the caller and effect an arrest. Additional hoax calls were made to other schools in Westchester and surrounding counties. At this time there are no credible threats to any Yonkers public or private school, but as always, community members are advised to call us at (914) 377-7900 to report any suspicious behavior - emergencies dial 9-1-1.
