Morehouse investigating social media threat

Morehouse College is investigating comments made on Twitter that suggested they planned to “shoot up” the Atlanta school.

The person complained in a Twitter post Tuesday about being on hold for three hours with the college’s financial aid office and wrote “I’ve decided to become the first black man to shoot up a school.” The message, which has been since deleted, was retweeted more than 100 times.

The person posted a tweet Wednesday morning “Alexa play ‘this is only a joke’ by no need to call the police.”
