The Penn State University Police Department announced Thursday that it has made an arrest after an investigation into a threat via Twitter vowing to carry out a mass shooting during a football game at Beaver Stadium.
Charles Thomas Hitechew, 22, of Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, was charged with two counts of terroristic threats and was arraigned Thursday before being released on unsecured bail of $15,000. A preliminary hearing is set for Wednesday.
The investigation was carried out by university police and the FBI.
"Penn State takes every threat seriously. The safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors is our first priority," University Park Police Chief Keith Morris said in a statement.
