CAMBRIDGE — Dozens of police officers descended on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus Saturday morning, moments after receiving a threatening message about a gunman that turned out to be a hoax.
But MIT students were not notified about the threat until more than an hour after it was first reported, when the school’s campus emergency messaging system sent a mass text message to students instructing them to remain indoors.

It's called "swatting" and it happens all the time to celebs in LA. Ashton Kutcher got swatted which was actually funny since he's made a career of punking people. Of course, sooner or later somebody is going to get shot.
