A WVU student has been taken into custody and charged after making terroristic threats.

"Report it right away, perhaps save some lives," said student Jay Kmetz in reaction to the incident.

According to a press release from WVU, Cheickna Kagnassy, a 21-year-old freshman from Columbia, Maryland was arrested at his residence, Vandalia Apartments, on Wednesday.

"A lot of people think, 'oh that would never happen at our school' or 'oh that would never happen to me," said another student, Alexandria Mazza.

Police say a concerned citizen notified University Police that Kagnassy had spoken about carrying out a “shooting spree,” then committing suicide.

"I think people know that these things are going on and when they see or hear something that's unusual or potentially a threat, they're reporting it," said Philip Scott, Deputy Chief of the WVU Police.

According to the criminal complaint, screenshots of the messages were sent by the concerned person to the university via Facebook. Officials say Kagnassy consented to a search of his phone, where the messages were found.

No weapons were found in his residence.

"We'd much rather check something out and there not be anything than we would, in this case, we think there was credibility," said Scott.

One student says he abides by the idea of if you see something say something.

"Call UPD and say 'I just got this message from this guy and he's planning on doing some not so nice things," said Kmetz.

The campus is still crowded as students are preparing for finals and getting ready to head home. One student says she's upset that she was never notified about this incident.

"I was on campus studying for finals all day yesterday and I did not hear one thing about this," said concerned student, Abby Willmann.

"The safety of our campus, staff and students is why we're here," said Scott.

Kagnassy was taken to North Central Regional Jail for arraignment, with bond set at $75,000.

Police said in a press release that he is banned from WVU property if released.
