More than 10 school districts across New York state were the victim of another wave of unfounded threats, known as "swatting," Gov. Kathy Hochul's office said Wednesday.

The threats were in schools in Western New York, the Capital Region, Central New York, Long Island, the Southern Tier and North Country.

The FBI defines swatting as "calling 911 and faking an emergency that draws a response from law enforcement — usually a SWAT team." 

The state was hit by two waves over two weeks of swatting threats back in April, shortly following the shooting at a Presbyterian private school in Nashville, Tennessee that killed three 9-year-old students and staff members. More than 50 New York school districts were affected.

“I have directed the New York State Police to investigate these threats and work closely with all levels of law enforcement to identify the perpetrators, hold them accountable, and restore the sense of safety and security our children deserve," Hochul said in a statement Wednesday. "The New York State Intelligence Center is also monitoring the situation and State Police are prepared to provide support and necessary resources to address credible threats. My top priority will always be the safety of New Yorkers."
