Tension at the University of La Matanza: a student threatened his classmates with carrying a weapon

The commotion started on Tuesday afternoon, but the messages were sent on Monday. “Tomorrow one of my friends is coming to class, buy him lots of cat-shaped chewing gum. “They’re going to fall one by one, you bunch of idiots,” the individual pointed out.

He then added: “Tomorrow, and every class, I’m going to take a gun to the classroom and I’m going to shoot and kill the first person who starts talking.”

And finally he closed the threat: ““Bunch of black people, motherfuckers. Sons of bitches. HDP.”

At the time, none of the students gave much importance to the matter, and one of them even asked the group administrator to eliminate “this ghost.”

However, this Tuesday the student attended classes at the UNLaM premises in Saint Justusso the Federal Police intervened in the case, and after a few minutes they identified the young man.
