It’s fun to pop Bubble Wrap. The plastic is used to cushion fragile items from damage, but many people enjoy popping the material.
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.
The military academy, as well as Eastern University and Cabrini University, were briefly locked down.
Officials at Eastern University said in a Facebook post that they were "thankful this event was not an actual gun related situation." Adding, that "the student took the correct action in calling 911."
