Fresno State Wide Receiver Arrested For Posting On Yik Yak That He Was Going To Shoot Up Campus and "Take a Headshot at a Hot Blonde"
NBC – A Fresno State freshman football player was arrested over making a terrorist threat, police said Tuesday.
Fresno State Police Chief David Huerta said Christian Pryor, 18, was in custody in relation to a post on Yik Yak, an anonymous social-media application.
Huerta said that police and campus officials had to work quickly once they learned about the message around noon local time. The message talked about violence on campus and contained information on the time it would be carried out, why the individual was “going to do it” and what kind of weapon would be used, Huerta told a press conference.
“We had approximately three hours from the time we received it to the time the threat was going to occur,” he added. “Our job was to do everything we could to either stop it, prevent it or give our students, faculty and staff the best opportunity to be safe.”
He said that authorities were “quickly” able to track down the IP address of the anonymous poster — along with more information. From that, he said, police were able to find and arrest the suspect within two hours of first learning about the post.
Pryor — who freshman from Los Angeles majoring in business, according to what appeared to be his football bio — was arrested in the Athletic Department offices on campus and taken to Fresno County Jail “on a charge of terrorist threat,” according to the school.
When asked if the threat was credible, Huerta said police considered it “significant” and responded on that basis.

Man I miss the days when people who got picked on and were unhappy with their life just locked their miserable ass in their bedroom and played video games in the dark all day and all night. Now anyone who feels that they’re even slightly bullied rounds up all their recording devices, types out threats to all their social media platforms, grabs a gun or two and goes out to cause chaos.
Every day with this shit, at some new school in a different part of the country. Please for the love of God if you’re so depressed just do the right thing and put a bullet in your earhole like a man – no need to take innocent people with you.
PS,
Fresno State ain’t Alabama or anything, but still, you’re a D1 football player – really no excuse to not be having the time of your life in college. If you’re feeling rejected and nobody wants to hang out with you then you must suck big time.
