ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The University of Michigan is beefing up security on campus in response to an online post allegedly threatening violence against women.
In a statement issued Saturday, the university’s Division of Public Safety and Security alerted students to a threat 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 Monday.
The UM Police Department is collaborating with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to investigate the post, MLive.com reported.
“The safety and security of our community is our highest priority,” the division stated, adding, “Out of an abundance of caution and to assist those with concerns, DPSS will be providing additional staffing and taking other risk mitigation steps.”
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call DPSS at 734-763-1131 or email dpss-safety-security@umich.edu.
