A student made ominous threats to shoot up staff members at Stiles Hall, Cesar Chavez, and the basic needs center. This student is apparently targeting aid programs. Staff members were alerted this morning to not show up because someone who, “frequently visits” made a threat to “shoot up staff members”. This is according to some students I know who work in these spaces who were told by their managers not to show up to work today because of said threats. The quotes I used are the exact messages sent by those managers.

It's Reddit, so grain of salt and all that. However, it sounds in line with other information given.

I worked there for ten years. Whenever I saw a bunch of helicopters, I knew something was up and would check online.

The media love their drama.

Makes you wonder that the ones with money control the politics and messaging and can carless about deaths caused by guns.

in an office on campus for four hours.

I am so thankful he just texted me and he's on his way home.

My first experience having a loved one in a lockdown situation--so incredibly stressful.
