A former UCLA lecturer who threatened to carry out a mass shooting at the school was arrested in Colorado on Tuesday morning where he had also made threats against a different campus in an 'alarmingly' violent 800-page manifesto.
Matthew Harris, 31, was taken into custody near the University of Colorado Boulder campus on Tuesday by SWAT teams.
On Sunday, he posted 300 unhinged and threatening videos on YouTube, and then he sent emails to UCLA staff threatening a mass shooting. He included details of the manifesto, which also had references to Boulder in it.
UCLA banned in-person classes and told the authorities about the Boulder references. Harris had worked at UCLA until last year but was put on leave after complaints from students that he had sent some of them pornography.
Harris was let go from his job last year after a student reported that he had sent them pornography.
On Monday, staff described him as 'highly erratic' in internal emails.
Chief Maris Herold said at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon that his manifesto was 'alarmingly' violent.
One of the hundreds of videos posted online by the former postdoctoral researcher was titled 'University of Colorado Boulder'. His manifesto made references to race and used several curse words and misogynistic slurs.
