St. Cloud State Student Charged Over Alleged Fraternity Shooting Threats

Prior incompetency rulings in separate stalking cases could shape how the court handles the case.

Overview

  • Campus police were alerted after a fraternity member reported threats to "shoot up" the house, according to the criminal complaint.
  • Officers found Romello Edward Lloyd, 29, in class and say his bag held a loaded handgun, a spare magazine, replica guns, and a knife.
  • Stearns County prosecutors filed two felony counts of threats of violence and two gross misdemeanor counts of unlawful firearm possession.
  • Court records say past incompetency findings in stalking cases bar him from having guns and could trigger a new competency review.
  • The university banned him from campus, offered counseling, and said he was not waving a gun in public.
