They arrested the individual who posted it. I’m assuming the same way the other campus did recently by contacting yik yak
10 years ago at 4:40 pmAbsolute coward. Hope everyone stays safe there and the authorities find this SOB. Ohio State had a threat similar to this last week; everyone on campus was fearful to take a step outside anywhere.

10 years ago at 5:19 pmhey thanks for not ending your story with “be nice to nerds, I guess” because apparently your female counterparts don’t understand the seriousness and severity of these sad and all too common events.

10 years ago at 10:30 pmDo these idiots not realize that every IP address on Yik Yak is traceable? It’s anonymous only by the fact that there is no name when you post. Legally Yik Yak can track the IP addresses to aid in police investigations. Hopefully they get this lunatic soon.
10 years ago at 10:48 pmI’m hoping this isn’t true. Reminds me too much of the Santa Barbara shooting in 2014. Same idea of crime, same idea of targets
