A Villanova University residence hall was evacuated on Sunday morning after authorities were notified of an unspecified threat, Delaware County authorities said. The threat was fake, police said. The incident comes days after school officials say a report about an active shooter on campus turned out to be a "cruel hoax.

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

A second false emergency incident report involving a weapon at Villanova University prompted Radnor Township police to deploy to the Main Line campus Sunday, one day before classes are scheduled to start.
