American law enforcement officials are investigating a "racially charged" death threat emailed to several hundred students of Harvard University that claimed an individual would come to the Ivy League institution and "shoot all of you" and "kill you individually". Harvard University police are investigating the death threat and plan to increase its campus presence over the weekend. The university's police has notified the FBI and local law enforcement agencies about the racially charged email, in which its author claimed that he or she would come to Harvard on Saturday at "11 clock" and "shoot all of you" and "kill you individually", according to a report in the Harvard Crimson. Addressed to "All students at Harvard," the text of the emails included racist language and referred to their intended recipients as "slit-eyes". The emails are alleged to have been sent by one StephanieNguyen, who claims to live in Boston. Harvard University police department spokesperson Steven Catalano said that while the university cannot verify whether the threat is real, the police plans to increase its campus presence on the weekend.
