Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Police descended upon Pennsylvania's Villanova University on Sunday in response to reports of an active shooter on campus, making it the second time in less than a week that a hoax attack has been reported at the private Catholic school.
The Radnor Township Police Department said officers were responding to reports of an active shooter at the university's Austin Hall.
"Law enforcement has confirmed that call to be false," it said in a statement published on X at about 11:40 a.m. EDT.
"Officers are working to clear the campus and restore normal operations. At this time, the investigation is ongoing."
