Police initially got a 911 text indicating there was an active shooter in the same block as Moody Middle School, Henrico County Police spokesman Lt. Matt Pecka said at a news conference.

Authorities responded but found no evidence of a shooter or of any gunfire after methodically searching the school, Pecka said.

Police are investigating what appears to have been a false report, Pecka said.

"Obviously if you have a student in the school system this is very traumatic," Pecka said. He said officers were available to speak to concerned parents.There is no evidence that students were in any danger, a Henrico County Public Schools news release said.
