The active shooting reported at Villanova University was a “cruel hoax” 

NYP:

The active shooting reported at Villanova University on Thursday afternoon that sparked pandemonium during new student move-in was a “cruel hoax,” the school’s president said in a statement to the campus community.  

Students and visitors, including many families helping their children get settled, had been directed to shelter in place following what turned out to be a false alarm, according to the Radnor Township Police Department.

An alert from the university ordered everyone to stay away from the Law School Scarpa Hall, located on the West Campus near nine residence halls and a dining hall, according to a campus map

“Today, as we are celebrating Orientation Mass to welcome our newest Villanovans and their families to our community, panic and terror ensued with the news of a possible shooter at the Law School,” University President Rev. Peter Donohue wrote

  1. Seriously, anyone that SWATs or hoaxes like that, needs some serious punishment, money and prison.

  2. Villanova was on the wrong side in “Bored Of The Rings”…

    “As Goodgulf stepped onto the bridge the passage echoed with an ominous dribble, dribble, and a great crowd of narcs burst forth. In their midst was a towering dark shadow too terrible to describe. In it’s hand it held a huge black globe and on its chest was written in cruel runes, “Villanova.”

    “Aiyee,” shouted Legolam, “A ballhog!”

    Goodgulf turned to face the dread shadow, and as he did, it slowly circled toward the bridge, bouncing the grim sphere as it came. The Wizard reeled back and, clutching at the ropes, raised his wand. “Back, vile hoopster,” he cried.

    At this the ballhog strode forward onto the bridge, and stepping back, the wizard drew himself up to his full height and said, “Avaunt, thin-clad one!”

    Arrowroot waved Krona. “He cannot hold the bridge,” he shouted and rushed forward.

    “E pluribus unum,” cried Bromosel and leaped after him.

    “Esso extra,” said Legolam, jumping behind him.

    “Kaiser Frazer,” shouted Gimlet, running up to join them.

    The ballhog sprang forward, and raising the dread globe over his head, uttered a triumphant cry.

    “Dulce et decorum,” said Bromosel, hacking at the bridge.

    “Above and beyond,” said Arrowroot, chopping a support.

    “A far, far better thing,” said Legolam, slicing through the walkway.

    “Nearer my God to thee,” hummed Gimlet, cutting the last stay with a quick ax stroke.

    With a loud snap, the bridge collapsed, spilling Goodgulf and the ballhog into the abyss. Arrowroot turned away and, stifling a sob, ran along the passage with the rest of the company close behind…”
