Online threats against blacks net arrest at Missouri campus

COLUMBIA, Mo. — A 19-year-old white man suspected of posting online threats to shoot black students and faculty was arrested Wednesday, authorities said, adding to the racial tensions at the heart of the protests that led to the resignations of two University of Missouri leaders earlier this week.

Hunter M. Park, a student at a sister campus in Rolla, was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. at a residence hall. The school said no weapons were found.

Park, who has not yet been formally charged, is enrolled at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. He was taken to jail in Columbia, about 75 miles to the northwest, and booked on a preliminary charge of suspicion of making a terrorist threat. He was being held on $4,500 bond.
