A University of Maryland student was arrested this week after posting threats to Internet news forum Reddit as well as anonymous voice and video chat site Omegle.com.

Alexander Song, 19, posted his intentions to "kill enough people to make it to national news," according to the Associated Press.

Sunday morning, other users on those websites reported the threats to police, who promptly set up surveillance of Song and arrested him at school. UM Police Chief David Mitchell said in a news conference that three individuals turned him in.

At the time of arrest, Song was neither carrying firearms nor had weapons in his dorm room. He was "emotionally distraught to the point of shaking and crying," Mitchell said.

Officials caught up to Song by using his IP address number — provided by Reddit.

"Our detectives and OIT staff determined that the messages were sent from a campus location," said Mitchell.
