Looking like another hoax of an active shooter on a college campus. This would be the 4th one in a week.

Not that I know of. It could be the same person...

In the livestream posted above, it was reported that LE received multiple calls for this incident. I'd like to know if they were robo/programmed calls, or a group of people calling, or one person calling from different phone numbers???

It's a dangerous hoax to pull. I hope the responsible people are caught and held to account.
