The ones at Villanova and UT-Chattanooga. Just a reminder. That doesn't mean this one isn't fake.

living in mom's basement and making a career of it, most likely. It'll take awhile to catch him but you can bet he's done this multiple times.

Someone made a threat?

Some other drama on campus?

Last week someone made a threat on SM and the Texas Capitol was evacuated. But it was sorta blown up into "active shooter", "shooting".
