Officials in New York state confirmed an individual is in custody after making a series of threats against Cornell University’s Jewish community, according to a statement issued Tuesday.
“Law enforcement has identified a person of interest in relation to threats of a mass shooting and antisemitic violence at Cornell University. This individual is currently in New York State Police custody for questioning,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement on Tuesday, adding that she had told Cornell students the previous day that the state “would do everything possible to find the perpetrator who threatened a mass shooting and antisemitic violence on campus.”
