The New York Daily News reports:
Noose reported outside Michigan State University student’s dorm turns out to be shoelacesWhat was perceived to be a noose found outside a Michigan State University student’s dorm Wednesday morning turned out to be leather shoelaces, school officials said.Campus police began investigating the incident after a student reported that she discovered a noose hanging outside of her dorm room, MSU President Lou Anna Simon initially said in a statement.School officials determined that the object found in Holden Hall wasn’t a noose, but instead packaged leather shoelaces, MSU spokesman Jason Cody said. They tracked down the student who had lost both shoelaces, which were “packaged in a way that someone could perceive them to look similar to a noose,” Cody said in a statement. That student lives on the same residence hall as the student who originally reported the incident, he said.The shoelaces were first found on a hallway floor. Police believe someone picked them up and then placed them on a stairwell door handle, according to the statement.
