Threat Against Des Moines Community College

Officials at Des Moines Area Community College were alarmed when they read a tweet on Twitter that said: “Who wants to shoot up the DMACC Ankeny campus the same time I shoot up the Urban campus?” That message led to the arrest on Friday of Paul George, when he arrived for his second day of classes, The Des Moines Register reported. Authorities do not believe the threat was credible, but George faces a charge of first-degree harassment. Officials at the community college found the tweet because they regularly monitor what is said about the institution on social networks.
