A threatening email sent to UC Berkeley staff members prompted a campus lockdown last week. A 39-year-old student is in jail.

A 39-year-old student was charged earlier this week with two counts of making criminal threats to university staff at UC Berkeley.

Bursey allegedly sent a threatening email to multiple staff members at UC Berkeley on Thursday morning, according to court documents filed in Alameda County. “Depending on who I feel was helping or not, 2 people on this email will get shot,” the message read.The campus was on lockdown for several hours

Bursey had been placed on academic suspension for an incident that occurred April 14, according to the university police department. One student, who asked to remain anonymous for safety reasons, told The Times that students who were sheltering inside a classroom were traumatized, and some were crying. Initial reports were that there was an active shooter on the campus, but campus police later clarified that authorities were searching for a suspect who threatened staff.
