22:39Now PlayingFor the second time in the span of a few days, Villanova University has experienced a police response due to a false active shooter report. LiveNOW’s Andy Mac is speaking with Dylan Johnson, a Villanova student, to get his reactions. Andy Mac is also speaking with Elizabeth M. Jaffe, an Associate Professor at Atlanta's John Marshall Law School, about the rise of swatting incidents at schools and universities.
After the second incident, Radnor police confirmed the call to be false. "Officers are working to clear the campus and restore normal operations," the department said on social media.
An active shooter was also reported at Villanova University on Thursday afternoon in what is now being called a "cruel hoax." In a statement, the university said that it received an anonymous report of an active shooter. "We know this false report caused fear and disruption as we begin our academic year," the statement read.
