Officials at the Hays Police Department continue their investigation of what appears to be a hoax of a disturbance involving firearms in the 2500 block of Pine.

The call forced police responding to the incident to close portions of streets near Pine beginning at approximately 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and lasting about an hour.

According to Lt. Brandon Wright, police still are investigating what he called a “false report.”

“We do not know where the call originated from at this time, and the investigation is still active,” he said.

No additional details were available Thursday morning.
