It's scary when the possibility of something like that seems real and hits this close to home. This morning our entire campus was put on "Alert". Text messages were sent to students advising them to be on the lookout for and report any "suspicious activity".
Luckily, the person in question was taken into custody not long after the alerts were sent out. We are being told that the text message, which "clearly stated the possibility of an act of violence against a person or persons unspecified", was actually sent to the university by mistake.
Supposedly, it was meant to go to a specific person with which this guy had a domestic dispute. How do you "accidentally" send a threatening text message to the advisement office of your university? It just seems weird to me.
Anyway, I'm thankful that they arrested him before someone was hurt. I hope he gets the help he needs.
