EAST LANSING (WKZO) — A former Michigan State University student admits he threatened a shooting attack on campus on the social media app Yik Yak last November. Nineteen-year-old Matthew Mullen pled guilty to a terrorism charge Thursday, but told the judge he never intended to carry out the threat because he had no means to do it.
Mullen is expected to be put on probation and avoid prison when he’s sentenced next month. He could have faced up to 20 years behind bars.
