NIU officials are investigating a threat posted late Saturday evening in a campus residence hall which included a racial slur and references to the Virginia Tech shootings.
Written in black ink on a restroom wall in the Grant Towers D complex were two separate entries claiming that “things will change most hastily†in the final days of the current semester.
“Tell those n---ers to go home,†the first entry reads. “ME / OUT … Die Sem Burr 10th … Hmz Sdn Cr.†Officials believe the text message-style shorthand refers to “December 10†and “Holmes Student Center.†Underlined letters within the first entry spell out the word “WATCH.â€
Following the initial entry is a second set of comments reading “What time? The VA tech shooters messed up w/ having only one shooter …â€
University leaders notified all students, faculty and staff about the threats through postings on the NIU website, all-campus email, voicemail, fliers and area news media. Security in and around the residence halls, student center and other campus buildings has also been increased, and the campus remains under a security alert through the end of the semester.
