MANHATTAN —Kansas State University is the latest target in a series of swatting incidents nationwide.
Late Monday afternoon Kansas State University was a target of a swatting attack intended to be disruptive to our Manhattan campus, according to a social media report from the university.
Riley County Dispatch received a call on their administrative line of a message stating active violence at Hale Library.
Officers immediately responded and determined the call was a hoax and there was no threat or danger. The building is safe, and the Manhattan campus is under normal operations.
This appears to be similar to other swatting reports happening at universities across the country.
