Many 911 calls about shooter at Villanova University
In a statement, Michael Konoli, Director of Communications County, Delaware County, described the first call to 911: “The emergency service department of Delaware County received a call from shots at 4:33 pm, which was fired from an AR -15 -style weapon in the campus of Vilnova University, who was later misrepresented.
Law enforcement agencies were sent from “almost every municipality in the area”, Konoli said, and 18 EMS units replied that someone was responded to in case of injuries.
The statement said that at 5:06 pm, another call came to report a gun pellet wound, and it was also baseless.
The investigation is going on in the incident, which Konoli said that a “selfing” effort could be. Schting under the federal and state law is a crime “with serious criminal consequences”, he said in the statement.
Konoli also praised the first respondents for his rapid response to the call.
“You are a shame on you”: The family in Wilnoova gave relief that the active shooter was a deception
The Miller family was both frightened and relief from the incidents at Vilnova University.
Alison Miller was on the campus for his orientation day as an upcoming new person. The family was on a large scale at that time.
Elisen Miller said, “We were sitting in the month, and I received a notice on my Apple Watch, and said that it was an active shooter alert.” “And then after 15 seconds, everyone stood up, started running away, full frenzy, which makes sense.”
Elizabeth Miller, Elison’s mother, was influenced by the university’s reaction.
Elizabeth Miller said, “We were right to the altar, such as the front and nearest building is where they were taking us in. It was like a stampede,” Elizabeth Miller said. “They were pushing me, we almost fell to the ground.”
He said, “Those who organized the mass, they were putting us in the building, they gave us food, they stopped us,” they said. “They took care of us, they kept coming and giving us updates … I found it very safe with them.”
Corey Miller, Elison’s father, also talked about how real it was.
“People there were falling in the mud, crawling, falling on chairs,” he said. “Just maintaining the order and what came out as a safe building, was trying to move towards it, it was the real chapel that was mass.”
Dad also has some words to say that anyone who is responsible for cheating.
“Shame on you. This is not something you expect in this country. I am happy that it has become a deception,” he said. “This is a sad way to finish a wonderful day. I am relieved for everyone here on campus that everyone can return normally.”
The upcoming freshmen were still in full shock.
“I just couldn’t believe that someone would do so. It’s really crazy,” said Elison Miller. “I heard that other people were experiencing the same thing in different colleges.”
