Several of the swatting calls that prompted law enforcement responses and caused lockdowns at schools across Colorado on Wednesday came in alphabetical order.
The FBI said they are "aware of numerous threats made today to a variety of organizations and institutions across Colorado." They said they "have no information at this time to indicate a specific and credible threat."
Swatting is when someone makes a false call to law enforcement, claiming an emergency situation and providing a real address for officers to respond to.
9NEWS found several of the districts were called in alphabetical order:
Alamosa received a call at 8:24 a.m.
Aspen - 8:25 a.m.
Aurora - 8:30 a.m.
Boulder - 8:33 a.m.
Brighton - 8:41 a.m.
Durango - 9:16 a.m.
Englewood - 9:19 a.m.
Estes Park - 9:23 a.m.
Fort Morgan - 9:38 a.m.
Grand Junction - 10:05 a.m.
Littleton - 1:45 p.m.
Denver Public Schools, the state's largest school district, and Jeffco Public Schools, the second-largest district, both said they did not receive any swatting calls Wednesday.
