Late Thursday afternoon, police rushed to Villanova University over a report of an active shooter — later determined to be a hoax — searching for someone who did not exist and at one point misidentifying a victim of a gunshot wound who had not been shot, according to police scanner recordings.
Police scanner shows panicked response to Villanova shooting ‘hoax’
“Active shooter! Villanova University! Scarpa Hall!” an officer chirped across the radio. Officials later determined it was an act of swatting, a fake emergency called in to induce panic.

Yes, Villanova was a hoax. But students still ran for their lives, still barricaded their doors, still texted loved ones what they thought might be their last words.
The students were well-trained in exactly what to do.
This is what America forces on our kids. No other country lives like this.

According to Reuters, “The Trump administration has terminated more than half of all federal funding for gun violence prevention programs in the U.S., cutting $158 million in grants.”
This comes less than 48 hours after the shootings in New York, Nevada, Georgia, among others.
We are outraged.

We just heard about the shooting in Greenwich Village in New York. We are offering our support to the community impacted tonight.
A few blocks away from the Stonewall Inn & NYC Pride, everyone deserves to have a safe space without the fear of gun violence, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community.

On college campuses, advancing autocracy threatens our right to speak & organize freely, threatens education & research funding, and our most vulnerable students.
In this critical moment, students have the opportunity to play a central role in the anti-authoritarian movement.

Illinois would benefit greatly from a true safe storage law that requires all firearms to be securely locked up when not in use. SB8 is not that bill. SB8 would not even apply to the 70% of Illinois households that don't have minor children. #needsimprovement 😐
