Active shooter reports recently hit the University of Tennessee, Villanova University, the University of South Carolina, and the University of Arkansas.

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.
