According to a campus radio station, all immediate threats appear to have been cleared by police.
Threat, if there ever was one is over on campus. No current threat. Worth repeating.

11 years ago at 1:02 amSomebody didn’t get a bid.
11 years ago at 12:20 amNot really the time or place, pal. This is a serious matter. Show a bit of class.
11 years ago at 12:33 amNot the time you tasteless fuck.
11 years ago at 12:50 amFuck you
11 years ago at 1:15 amWith a name like “bigotted douchebag,” we’d hope you realize that you are the exact type of person this nut was threatening to kill.
11 years ago at 10:39 amI go to UA and I can confirm that the cops did not clear the entire 13 story building. They put that info out 20 minutes after the threat went out.
11 years ago at 12:30 amI certainly hope they find this man or woman and dole out the appropriate punishment. Now is not a time for this.
11 years ago at 12:33 amIs anytime a time for this??
11 years ago at 2:18 amAnother reason for legal campus carry
11 years ago at 12:33 amsmart idea. allow college students to carry guns across campus, nevermind the fact that we all get drunk 3-4x a week
11 years ago at 3:45 amIt is illegal to carry a firearm under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A responsible gun owner would not put people at risk by being drunk or high.
11 years ago at 6:51 amBecause every college student is mature enough to be a responsible gun owner.
11 years ago at 7:48 amWho said anything about every college student having a gun? Most people don’t meet the minimum requirements to carry a concealed handgun.
11 years ago at 8:36 amAll it takes is one dumbass at a party.
11 years ago at 10:23 amYou called?
11 years ago at 10:02 pmGuns are frat
11 years ago at 6:54 amYou are allowed to conceal carry on my campus…Im not sure if i feel safer or in more danger because of it.
11 years ago at 10:30 amDeVry?
11 years ago at 2:33 pmAlmost…Idaho
11 years ago at 7:02 pmWell people who want to bring guns on campus will do that regardless of the law. Restrictive gun laws hurt responsible, law-abiding gun owners who lose the ability to defend themselves in emergencies.
11 years ago at 1:24 pmWhy do people suck so much?
11 years ago at 12:35 amI hope they find the coward who did this and plaster their face all over the internet.
11 years ago at 12:41 amThat’s probably what they want…half of these psychos are just looking for attention
11 years ago at 8:21 amFucking whiny virgins, man. Suck it up until you slay your Great White Buffalo like the rest of us
11 years ago at 12:43 amAll of this is related to that stupid scavenger hunt. Put an end to it. You’re sickening.
11 years ago at 1:08 amScary situation. Stay safe out there guys. You should never feel unsafe at school.
