A letter detailing a shooting threat was found on campus at California State University Northridge’s (CSUN), coming on the heels of a shooting threat found next to anti-Semitic graffiti days earlier.
The letter, which was discovered at Redwood Hall on Monday evening, stated in red ink, “I am writing this to inform the people of CSUN that I will kill everyone on the 12 of December 2018.”
“I am aware that I will be probably [be] shot and killed before that happens,” the letter continued. “I’m killing as many motherf***ers as I possibly can.”
The letter also noted that a student at Northridge Academy High School (NAHS), located next to CSUN, would be doing the same thing.
“The teacher and proffessors [sic] are surely going to f***ing die for making students depressed and giving us bulls*** work that will never serve us good in life,” the letter stated.

On Dec. 5, graffiti of a swastika and the words “mass shooting 12/12” was found in Sierra Hall. Dec. 12 is when finals start for CSUN students.
While the university will remain open, students are being provided the option to take their finals outside of campus if they don’t feel safe.
“We recognize that these threats have created an environment where students and other members of our campus community fear for their safety,” CSUN president Dianne Harrison said in a statement. “We are instructing all faculty who have examinations on December 12 to provide alternative examination options for their students that would not require students to be physically present on campus Wednesday. Faculty will be communicating specifics with students.”
Harrison added, “Law enforcement officials continue to believe that there is no imminent threat to campus. We are working to bring any perpetrators of these cowardly acts to justice.”
