'It felt real': Villanova student recalls chaos during shooting hoax

Things are back to normal after a call reporting an active shooter caused chaos on Villanova University's campus.

Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said Gov. Josh Shapiro is offering state resources as federal authorities join the search for the person behind the hoax.

"People have to understand this is not a joke," said Radnor Township Police Superintendent Christopher Flanagan.

The false report came in around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, just as new students were attending an orientation Mass. Villanova senior Ava Petrosky was part of a group singing at the ceremony when she saw people in the crowd begin to run. #villanova #fyp #foryou
