Discord shooting threat
On Jan. 30, a police report was filed about UNM student Drew Schneider after he taunted a player in an online video game by saying he would "shoot up the school" over the online chat application Discord.
Schneider was a member of the chartered esports club at UNM. He was removed from the group due to "other behaviors and incidents," according to the police report filed by UNMPD officer Tomoyoshi Steward.
The police report said Schneider created a "toxic environment" and was removed on Jan. 25.
Another player accused Schneider of saying in November, "If you ever play Lux again, I will shoot up the school" via text over Discord.
Lux is a playable character in the PC game "League of Legends."
Steward's report noted the comment was believed to be a joke, according to the student who reported it. The student told Steward they still wanted to document the comment.
