A suspect, reportedly a radio show host at WUML, which is affiliated with the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, is out of a job and an investigation is under way after an alleged death threat to Vice President JD Vance.
The threat said, “It’s simple, we kill JD Vance,” and allegedly was posted by an online user who was a radio host for the station that long has worked on a reputation for being a community voice.
It’s run by students and funded by the university.
When the post appeared recently, school officials called authorities and officers from campus police, the FBI, Secret Service and others launched an investigation.
Authorities soon claimed there was no “immediate” danger but still the gravity of a threat against the life of the sitting vice president called for more investigation.
