Student Charged For Threats Against Local Campus

A Western Pennsylvania college student has been accused of making threats of violence against his school on social media. Trevor Howard faces charges after allegedly posting a question on the popular college student social app YikYak back in February. Howard reportedly asked how many people he could kill if he opened fire on the Washington & Jefferson College campus. The local District Attorney has said that Howard declined a five-year probationary plea deal. If Howard is convicted on trial, he could face a sentence of up to seven years.
