UNR classes canceled amid threats referencing Virginia Tech
Classes at the University of Nevada, Reno, were canceled Thursday after police received reports that an Army veteran made threats referencing the Virginia Tech shootings.
Michael James Sheriff, 27, was arrested without incident around 10:30 PM in Carson City on a probation violation.
But the search for Sheriff, a former UNR student, had intensified after police say he sent a text message to a relative saying "the Korean is my hero," apparently referring to the gunman who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech.
Police say he also told another relative that he would be unavailable for the next few days because he would be on a "mission."
Authorities note that no specific threat or target was made. University officials e-mailed students announcing they canceled classes as a precaution.
