Source: Telegram
Executive Summary
A Telegram channel using the label Kitty Mafia x KnockKnock Confirmed is circulating links to a cluster of recent school threats, lockdowns, and evacuations across multiple US jurisdictions. The linked reporting spans Indiana, Alabama, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Washington, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and California, indicating an effort to amplify disruption by pointing followers to fresh incidents in different regions.
Analysis
The material you provided shows a consistent signaling method where the actor posts news links and images after public safety responses, implying involvement while avoiding details that could be checked. The incidents themselves are largely reported as threats or suspected hoaxes that triggered lockdowns, evacuations, police sweeps, and schedule disruption, which is the core intended effect of swatting even when no device or attacker is found.
Indiana reporting describes a districtwide soft lockdown and delayed parent communications after an anonymous report of a gun in a school bathroom stall, which the Telegram channel promoted repeatedly through multiple outlets.
Multiple outlets in Alabama reported school evacuations and bomb or gun threats tied to phone calls, with police responses and heightened security, and those incidents were included in the channel’s link set.
Georgia reporting described multiple threats and lockdown activity in Richmond Hill, plus related follow on reporting about credibility and police posture, which the channel grouped into the same event cluster.
Other linked incidents include a reported lockdown threat at Brookline High School in Massachusetts, police response and spoofing related reporting in Nebraska, and swatting determinations for threats against multiple Vancouver area schools in Washington.
Based only on the provided material, attribution remains self claimed. The links do not establish who placed any calls, whether threats were coordinated, or whether incidents share a common origin beyond similar tactics and timing.
