A wave of swatting incidents involving false active shooter reports has affected at least 11 college campuses across the United States, including the University of Colorado Boulder, University of Arkansas, Northern Arizona University, Iowa State, Kansas State, Texas Tech, and the University of New Hampshire. These hoax calls, some featuring gunshot sounds, have triggered campus-wide shelter-in-place orders and law enforcement responses, causing widespread fear among students as the new academic year begins. On Monday alone, investigators responded to six separate active shooter calls on college campuses. The University of Arkansas experienced 308 landline calls and 38 emergency calls reporting a mass shooting, all of which were determined to be fake. The FBI has urged students to remain vigilant and is investigating these swatting incidents, including the recent case at the University of Colorado Boulder. The spate of hoaxes has been described as a disturbing trend that is disrupting campus safety and causing significant concern among authorities and students nationwide.
