Police say a social media company alerted the RCMP last Thursday that someone had threatened online to go to the Laurier campus and start shooting.

The Mounties then notified local police, and after an investigation, an 18-year-old man was arrested and charged with uttering threats, police say.

Officers say they do not believe there was a credible threat to public safety.
