UNTREF Shuts Caseros 2 After Email Threatening Massacre

A criminal inquiry is underway after the university tightened security at all other sites.

Overview

  • An email attributed to a supposed former student threatened a mass killing at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero and vowed a subsequent suicide.
  • The message described plans to use a shotgun, explosives and knives, invoked Anders Breivik, and claimed the attack would be livestreamed on Discord to a group called 764 with a manifesto on a deep‑web forum.
  • UNTREF closed its Caseros 2 campus as a precaution and kept other campuses operating with reinforced security, issuing a statement rejecting the threat and filing a formal complaint.
  • A case for intimidation was opened, with the San Martín prosecutor Silvana Giordano taking up the investigation, and authorities are working to trace the origin of the email.
  • Reports say the sender’s identity remains unconfirmed, no arrests have been announced, and images attached to the email showed firearms and extremist iconography.
