University of South Carolina students were told to shelter in place Sunday after an unconfirmed report of an active shooter on the main campus.

F or the second time in less than a week, Villanova University was the scene of an active shooter hoax report on Sunday, prompting police to clear buildings at the Pennsylvania campus before investigators determined the incident was not legitimate, officials said.

A second false active shooter incident was reported at Villanova University before the first day of classes, sources say.
