But that “pop, pop!” sound was mistaken for gunfire Monday at an Eastern University apartment building located on the property of Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, Pa.
Officials at the school in suburban Philadelphia said in a statement that a student heard what she thought were shots fired and called 911.
