Police arrested a 21-year-old student at the Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in Los Angeles after he posted an Internet warning of a shooting on the campus, authorities said on Sunday.
Carlos Huerta, 21, a senior, was arrested about 10:15 last night near his campus apartment on suspicion of posting the threat on JuicyCampus.com, a blog primarily used by college students, said Los Angeles police Officer Mike Lopez of Media Relations.
The supposed threat showed up about 11:30 a.m. on Saturday on the Web site, which allows people to post messages anonymously.
Detectives with the Major Crimes Division, working with LMU's Department of Public Safety, determined the JuicyCampus.com posting had come from Huerta's computer, Lopez said.
Deputy Chief Michael Downing, head of the Counterterrorism and Criminal Intelligence Bureau, said: "There was never an indication the threat made was a valid one, and there is no ongoing threat to LMU."
