MONTREAL, QUEBEC - Montreal police are investigating after a 21-year-old McGill University student posted threats and other controversial messages to his Twitter page.

Haaris Khan made the threats last week. They included threatening to shoot a roomful of students at a campus film screening at the Leacock Building.

 

He allegedly posted, “I want to shoot everyone in this room,”.

 

Also during the film screening, others Tweets said, “I should have brought an M-16,” and “My blood is boiling…Never been this angry.”

 

He also made a number of anti-Jewish comments.

 

About 20 students attended the event, which was organized by the Conservative McGill Club.
