An active shooter hoax at a Pennsylvania college causes a massive response and commotion since it was an orientation day at the school(Villanova University). Basically another 'swatting' incident with a fake emergency phone call to the police. I hope there are felony charges waiting for the perp. It's bad enough when an individual is swatted but an entire college campus?

Villanova is victim of ‘cruel’ active-shooter ‘hoax’ that sends terrified new students, families scrambling during move-in, Mass

Just by coincidence there was an unfounded threat at a Tennessee college on the sameday.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s campus cleared, lockdown lifted after no threat found

False police reports and/or fake emergency calls need to become felony offenses.
 

I was listening to that while hubby had the report on his TV. I was glad (no one was hurt) but irritated at the same time for the reason).
It was whew after I heard it. If orientation day/week there must have plenty of visitors including parents, siblings, friend helping them move in.

Not a good thing to do with real shootings happening. I hope whoever did this is charged with some kind of punishment.
sorry my post made you angry Rae, I tend to get wordy so I was keeping it brief as possible, not sure how you took that but I had deeper feelings than I stated.
