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

Police responded to a second false report of an active shooter at Pennsylvania's Villanova University on Sunday, a day for the start of the school's 2025-26 academic year.

The two incidents occurred just days after there were shooting scares at both Villanova and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga on Aug. 21.
