At least two civilians dead, but they apparently haven't finished combing the Planned Parenthood for more possible victims due to fear of explosives being left behind by the gunman.

The University of Chicago is canceling all classes and other events on its main campus Monday over online threats of gun violence.
FBI counterterrorism officials alerted the school on Sunday, the university said in a statement. They warned of online threats from an "unknown individual" that specifically mentioned a location, the campus quad, and a time, 10 a.m.

Lots of friends affected by that. Don't know what to think. It's one thing to get a threat, it's another to get a threat credible enough to shut things. But if you're the potential shooter, and you post somewhere about a specific time and place, and the FBI gets involved and shuts things down, then what's to stop you from just doing it again? Or not posting about it next time?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 30 November 2015 15:10 (eight years ago) link
the fact that the FBI got involved and is now actively searching for you
― Karl Malone, Monday, 30 November 2015 15:11 (eight years ago) link
Fingers crossed. But the fact that the FBI could not preemptively catch the guy with a 24 hour head start and instead chose to have the entire campus shut down does not give me much faith.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 30 November 2015 18:16 (eight years ago) link
It isn't like he left his coordinates and cell phone number
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Monday, 30 November 2015 18:17 (eight years ago) link
I totally get that. But how would they be searching for him otherwise?
Of course, maybe they do know who he is and where he is/was, and are currently searching for him. That would be different. We don't know anything about the nature of the threat, other than it was serious. But unknown individual online limits potential suspects to the millions, internationally. I wonder what made it credible? Or I guess they could just be over-cautious, but that goes back to what I said before: if an anonymous online threat alone is enough to shut down the campus ...

There was a similar closure week before last in Maryland. This one was a direct threat (missing kid went home and got his rifle).

1 in custody in threat at University of Chicago linked to Laquan McDonald shootingJodi S. Cohen and Lolly BoweanAn online threat to kill 16 white male students or staff in retaliation for the shooting of Laquan McDonald forced the University of Chicago to cancel classes and close its Hyde Park campus Monday, the Tribune has learned, and one person was taken into custody in connection with the threat.

"This is my only warning. At 10AM Monday morning, I'm going to the campus quad of the University of Chicago. I will be armed with an M-4 carbine and two desert eagles, all fully loaded. I will execute approximately 16 white male students and or staff, which is the same number of time McDonald was killed," wrote the commenter, who posted with the initials "JRD" and a Chicago Bulls logo, according to the police report. "I will then die killing any number of white policeman in the process. This is not a joke. I am to do my part and rid the world of white devils. I expect you do the same."

i think it's dumb how everyone always hopes these shooters are ideologically opposed to them, or feels the need to twist things around if it turns out that the shooters are "aligned" with them in some way. the planned parenthood guy wasn't an agent of the republican party (odious as they are), and this guy isn't an agent of the black lives matter movement. they might be motivated by "fiery rhetoric" from this source or that but they could pick that up anywhere imo, it's not the source of the problem
