VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — Police responded Thursday to a report of an active shooter on the campus of Villanova University, prompting a lockdown on campus that sent students scrambling to seek shelter in closets and classrooms.

Students shared an afternoon text from the Villanova alert system that told them to lock and barricade doors and move to secure locations. A second alert from Villanova officials warned people to stay away from the law school.
