Boulder City High School was subject to a similar hoax call in December, where a caller claimed an active shooter was in the building leading to a brief hard lockdown.
On Thursday, Gov. Joe Lombardo tweeted that his office was "aware of the suspected swatting reports" and is working with state leaders to respond to these reports.
