The president of Villanova University addressed a false report of an active shooter on campus, describing the incident as a “cruel hoax.” Despite initial panic that caused students to flee and law enforcement to respond rapidly, there were no shooters, no injuries, and no firearms found. The hoax occurred during the university’s Orientation Mass, meant to welcome new students and their families, shaking the campus community. The perpetrator behind the false report remains unknown<\/a>. Authorities, including the Radnor Township Police Department, confirmed their presence at the law school area, and the university expressed gratitude<\/a> to the responding officers. The incident comes amid the start of the academic year when manny universities are holding orientations.
