FBI Finds Out-Of-State Suspect In Threat To Shoot Women At U-M Tomorrow
An online threat to shoot University of Michigan women on Monday brought quick action and rest-easy assurance from campus administrators this weekend.
"The University of Michigan Police Department, with the assistance of the FBI, has identified an out-of-state residence from which the threat was posted," the campus force posted Saturday afternoon.
FBI agents interviewed a resident of the home, who they assessed to be responsible for the message.

Less than four hours earlier, U-M's Division of Public Safety and Security alerted students about "a message posted on a Russian-operated confessions website indicating an intent to carry out an active shooter incident targeting females on the U-M campus on Oct. 4."
The U-M Police Department is collaborating with local, state and federal law enforcement partners to investigate this post.
