GROVE CITY, Pa. - Police gave the "all-clear" at the Grove City College campus Sunday evening after a report of shots fired at the campus library, which law enforcement officials believe was a "swatting" incident triggered by a computer-generated call.
Grove City Police received calls of shots fired at the Henry Buhl Library around 4 p.m. Sunday, the Pennsylvania State Police said in a news release. State police and Grove City police responded to the scene, but found no evidence of an active shooter, victims, or witnesses.
The incident is believed to be a "computer-generated swatting call," state police said. Swatting is the act of making a false report to emergency services to draw a large police response to a specific location.
The library was evacuated, and a shelter-in-place order
