An investigation is underway and multiple firearms were confiscated from an Orchard Park home after a University at Buffalo student allegedly made a threat to “shoot up the school.”
7 News has obtained the application for a Temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order (TERPO) against the student, a 21-year-old who is in a leadership position in the UB chapter of Young Americans for Freedom. In the TERPO, police said the student has an active pistol permit in Erie County and was recently associated with negative social media attention surrounding his support of ICE on campus.
According to the TERPO, on November 19 at Baldy Hall on the UB North Campus, two witnesses overheard a conversation while studying a few tables away. The student allegedly made threats to “shoot up the school tomorrow,” and allegedly said he had a foldable AR in his bag with an extended magazine and “know[s] exactly how to shoot them, I’ll shoot them in the foot and knee so they can’t get away.” The student also allegedly said he would “shoot them in the head, and the cops would get here 5 minutes too late.”…
