COLUMBIA, Mo. (Reuters) - University of Missouri police on Wednesday arrested a 19-year-old white man on suspicion of making what it called a "terrorist threat" on social media to shoot black people.
Police identified the suspect as Hunter M. Park from Rolla, Missouri, about 95 miles (150 km) south of the Columbia campus of the University of Missouri. He was not a student, they added.
Tensions are running high on the Columbia campus after the university's president and chancellor stepped down on Monday, following weeks of protests over their perceived weak handling of reports of racial abuse on campus.
