Rutgers police arrested Patrick Kelly, 28, on Thursday and charged him with making terroristic threats and circulating a false report of an impending emergency, NorthJersey.com reported.
Kelly sent the email and hour-and-20-minute YouTube video, which Chancellor Nancy Cantor said in an email Thursday morning to students, faculty and staff “included language that could be interpreted as threatening.”
"If I actually was a crazy person and I got access to somebody else's gun, at least 50 people would have died," Kelly says in the video.
He also speaks of how easy it would be for a mass shooter to gain access to the campus and describes himself as the victim of stalking and harassment.
Security was heightened on the 38-acre campus in Newark’s University Heights section, nj.com reported.
