The University of South Carolina says there is an active shooter on campus, according to an alert from USC’s emergency notification system. The shooter was reported a little after 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Thomas Cooper Library and is being described as a six-foot white man with black pants.

The University of South Carolina Police Department said it believes the active shooter reports Sunday night were part of a swatting hoax. Police said they got two separate calls Sunday at 6:30:42 p.m. and 6:32:20 p.m, reporting an active shooter at the Thomas Cooper Library.
