Police Investigate Violent Anti-Semitic Threats Sent to Brown/RISD Hillel
“Special security detail is now in place at our building and will remain in place over the coming days”
Investigators haven’t turned up anything here, so who knows what is true? It could be a hoax but it has to be taken seriously.
The Brown Daily Herald reported:
Violent threats sent to Brown-RISD Hillel, police searches find “no imminent threat”
An unidentified person emailed violent threats to Brown-RISD Hillel leaders at 3 a.m. this morning, according to Rabbi Josh Bolton, the executive director of the center, and a community-wide email sent by the Department of Public Safety. Police searches found “no imminent threat” within Hillel’s Weiner Center building, which is now open for use.
According to Bolton, he and Molly Goldmeier — assistant director of Hillel — both received “specific violent threats” to them, their families and the Weiner Center via email early Sunday. Bolton declined to comment on the type of threats received. Rodney Chatman, the vice president for public safety and emergency management, confirmed in the DPS email that there is “no evidence of any on-site threat” after officers conducted a safety assessment of the Weiner Center.
The threats are currently under investigation by “a collaboration of local, state and federal authorities,” Bolton told The Herald.
The leaders discovered the emails at 7:30 a.m. and immediately informed the Providence Police Department, Bolton said.
Providence Police responded in person at the Weiner Center at 9 a.m. and contacted DPS to assist. Providence Police and DPS also notified the Rhode Island State Fusion Center, a network for collaboration between federal, state and local agencies in response to threats.
Bolton wrote that Hillel is currently updating its safety and security plans. “Special security detail is now in place at our building and will remain in place over the coming days,” he wrote.
In an email to the Hillel community, Bolton confirmed that the Weiner Center will remain open and will proceed with regularly scheduled activities.
