Daniel Rippy Pleads Guilty to Shooting Threat During OSU-Michigan Football Game

Daniel Rippy pleaded guilty Wednesday to making a threat in interstate communications after threatening to hurt students, players and coaches during a college football game between Ohio State and Michigan in 2018.

According to Andrew Welsh-Huggins of the Associated Press, an indictment accused Rippy of making a threat from California via Facebook. Rippy threatened to carry out a shooting at Ohio State University and wrote: "I'm seriously going to hurt the students and all of the players from the football team."

Rippy also threatened "to injure or kill specific players, their family members and the head coach," per a statement of facts filed Wednesday as part of Rippy's plea agreement.
