COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Police on the campus of the University of Missouri say they're investigating online threats, including one post that threatens to "shoot every black person I see."
Police say they increased security before the university learned of the threats. It's the latest development in a tumultuous week in which the campus chancellor and the university system president announced their resignations. Students who had protested for weeks accused President Tim Wolfe of not responding to racial incidents.
A graduate student's hunger strike then led to a two-day walkout by more than 30 members of the Missouri football team. And on Monday, Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin were forced out.
Campus police Capt. Brian Weimer says university police are working with other state and local agencies to ensure the campus is secure.
