Students at Villanova University were alerted to reports of an active shooter situation on campus today. Officials later said the report of a shooting at the law school was a hoax. The reported active shooter incident on Villanova’s campus today was a “cruel hoax,” said the university’s president, the Rev. Peter M. Donohue.

For the second time in less than a week, Villanova University was the scene of an active shooter hoax report on Sunday, prompting police to clear buildings at the Pennsylvania campus before investigators determined the incident was not legitimate, officials said.
