(Pittsburgh, PA) A call that was a hoax drew a response for a large amount of police to show up to the University of Pittsburgh campus in Pittsburgh yesterday. The Barco Law Library building at the University of Pittsburgh is where police responded to yesterday for a report of a possible armed person. According to sources, the caller claimed they were hiding in a closet and said someone had an AR-style rifle and even reported hearing gunfire. Police made a determination that the call had no credibility and that there was no shooter within about twenty minutes.
