There's an active investigation at Syracuse University into a threat posted online.
The Department of Public Safety said Tuesday morning it has received multiple reports of a document purported to be a white supremacist manifesto being airdropped to individuals’ cell phones in Bird Library. Syracuse DPS say they have no reports of anyone actually receiving the manifesto document.

There was also a message posted on Greekrank.com, a Greek Life forum. It appears to be the New Zealand shooter's manifesto, the gunman who opened fire in a mosque there earlier this year. It has since been deleted.
