According to news reports, there’s an active shooter situation at Villanova University. The Radnor Township Police Department are on the scene and issued a shelter in place order to residents and students.
The alert from the university provided some more specific information. That alert asks folks to steer clear of the law school building, John F. Scarpa Hall. Scarpa Hall is described as “home to everything Villanova Law. From the Commons to the library, research centers, the career strategy office, and state-of-the-art classrooms, Villanova Law has everything you need all under one roof.”
The active shooter alert went out around 4:30 p.m. Just hours before, the law school completed its annual orientation.
