On Sunday night, police rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with a SWAT team and put one of Chicago's biggest hospitals on lockdown for hours. Sources now say it was all a hoax.
Nurses came in to lock patients' doors and turn off the lights. The nurses were told to hide.
But just a few hours into the intruder announcement, Chicago Police lifted the lockdown and found no threat. If this does turn out to be a swatting situation, it would be the second that Kevill-Davies – a student at Northwestern University – has experienced.Kevill-Davies was on campus Cmdr. Glew said the suspected caller was never found, but he emphasized that making that swatting call was a felony. Not only does it stress the community at large, but it can take resources from other incidents that do need an emergency response.
