Threatening Note Found In LIU Post Residence Hall

A threatening note was found on Long Island University Brookville campus on Thursday, one day before graduation.

According to LIU Post, the “potentially concerning” letter was found in the Brookville Hall dormitory.

The author of the letter said they would shoot and stalk people and “make a homemade bomb and blow the (expletive) roof off” the residence hall, according to CBS Local.

An investigation into the incident revealed there were no specific threats against any individual.

“Public Safety will maintain a state of vigilance to ensure the safety of all members of the community,” a LIU spokesperson told Patch.

LIU Post said they have implemented several safety measures to ensure the safety of those attending graduation.

“Commencement is our biggest event of the year and brings the most traffic to our campus of any event of the year,” a spokesperson said. “As such, we have robust security measures, including full activation of our Public Safety Department, supplemental outside security, and coordination with Old Brookville PD.”

Patch has contacted Old Brookville Police for comment regarding the threat.

Patch also contacted Nassau Police, who said they were not aware of the incident despite conflicting reports.
