The suspect apprehended by MU police is 19-year-old Hunter M. Park, of Lake St. Louis. Police arrested Park in Rolla early Wednesday morning. Park, who is white, is not an MU student.

UPDATE, 11/12: Hunter Park, the Missouri University of Science and Technology student arrested on suspicion of posting violent threats against University of Missouri students on social media, told police he had a “deep interest” in the Umpqua Community College shooting that left nine people dead.

One of the threats Park is accused of posting—”Some of you are alright. Don’t go to campus tomorrow”—parrots a threat posted by the gunman who attacked students and staff in the Oregon shooting. According to the probable cause statement released to media, Park, who is originally from Lake St. Louis, admitted he was quoting the Umpqua shooter to a University of Missouri Police Department officer.

When the officer asked why, Park responded: “I don’t know, just...deep interest.”

Park also admitted to the officer that his posts were “inappropriate,” according to the probable cause statement, and that his posts were “pretty much” empty threats. When asked why he posted about shooting black students, he said, “I won’t get there...so...I don’t know.”

Our original story continues below.

Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, who will resign at the end of the year as a result of the protests, said the suspect used multiple social networking accounts to post threats.

A police post about the suspect in MU’s Online Emergency Information Center did not specify which online threats the apprehended person is suspected of making. Students shared several violent threats made online against students, especially black students, including one that read: “I’m going to stand my ground tomorrow and shoot every black person I see.”

Someone also called in a threat to MU’s Black Culture Center Tuesday during a meeting between members of the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus and Concerned Student 1950, the group that led recent protests, according to ABC 17 News.

And after threats made Monday against veterans and soldiers, instructors told Mizzou’s ROTC members not to wear military uniforms this week. The morning physical training session on Wednesday, which is Veteran’s Day, is cancelled, according to the Columbia Missourian.

Melissa Click, the communications professor who drew national criticism after calling for “muscle” to keep journalists away from protesters, sent an email to students canceling classes after death and rape threats were made against her, according to the Huffington Post. Click, who is the chair of the student publications committee, which oversees the student newspaper, resigned her courtesy title with the MU School of Journalism Tuesday.

So far, one wide-spread rumor has proven false: The KKK is not on campus, police told reporters.
