The student who was arrested in connection with the shooting threat made against Fresno State’s campus Monday is a member of the school’s football team.

From The Fresno Bee:

Christian Malik Pryor, an 18-year-old Fresno State football player, was arrested Monday in connection with a social media post that said the sender planned to “release my frustrations” with gunfire on campus.

Fresno State Police Chief David Huerta did not name Pryor during a late-afternoon news conference. But a short time later, Pryor was booked into Fresno County Jail on a charge of making a criminal threat. Bail was set at $20,000. There was no immediate word about an initial court appearance.

About two hours after the news conference, the university identified Pryor as the student who allegedly made the threat.

Pryor was arrested in the Duncan Building in the center of Fresno State’s athletic complex south of Bulldog Stadium.

In what I assume was an act of misdirection (if Pryor is found to be guilty), he sent out the following response to a friend who tweeted about the shooting threat.

The 6’1″, 170-pound walk-on wide receiver is yet to appear in a game for the Bulldogs, and I have a feeling that’s not going to change any time soon.

    The guy who made the threat said he was sick of rejection. How monstrous of a douche do you have to be that not even being a fucking football player can get you any tail?

    I hope they throw the book at this prick. I don’t care if it’s a joke or not. Sounds like conspiracy or intent of murder to me.

      They also need to set an example so that others wont resort to terrorist threats to stir up trouble. Bomb threats and shooting scares are way too common these days. Sad thing is this was probably a plea for help. I hope he gets help, but he needs to learn his lesson.

    “Pryor was arrested in the Duncan Building in the center of Fresno State’s athletic complex”

    Freedom of speech is an interesting topic in the modern world, especially online
