Pennsylvania College of Technology received a call this morning, March 23, of an active shooter in the Keystone Dining Room. The safety of our community is our highest priority. Penn College Police and emergency personnel responded quickly. We immediately locked down campus and sheltered in place.
No threats were found, and additional campus areas were cleared. The 911 recording is thoroughly being investigated. It was confirmed that our campus was victim to a “swatting,” or prank call. Once confirmed, the shelter in place was lifted. Classes were canceled for the day; campus remains open.
We appreciate the prompt response of emergency responders and everyone’s cooperation.
