A Manchester University student with a “dark sense of humor” was arrested after allegedly sending students text messages containing gun emojis and threats.

On November 6, several students at Manchester University in North Manchester, Indiana reportedly received threatening text messages from someone they believed was their 23-year-old fellow attendee. In addition to threats to physically harm or shoot them on campus, the messages reportedly contained gun emojis. According to reports, the woman also made verbal comments to the students that were interpreted as threats to shoot them in class.

Some of the students began reporting the situation to the school in emails, and they said they felt vulnerable to potential gun violence since the campus was not secure enough for them to believe they would be protected in the event of a dangerous incident. They also said that many students chose not to come forward because they feared they would put themselves at greater risk if they reported the situation. Screenshots of some of the allegedly threatening text messages were attached to the emails.
