Christopher Adam Strahan, 22, a resident of Corvallis, Oregon, was indicted Wednesday, June 20, for threatening a campus shooting at Oregon State University (OSU). The indictment alleges Strahan threatened to shoot classmates at OSU in a series of tweets on February 27, 2018. He is charged with a single count of making threatening communications in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875. Strahan was previously detained as a flight risk and danger to the community when he made his initial appearance in federal court on a criminal complaint on March 27, 2018. Strahan will be arraigned on the indictment on June 27, 2018 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo. An indictment is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. Anyone who witnesses imminent threats of violence in any form made via internet or another means should call 9-1-1 immediately.
