Arizona man arrested for threatening to attack Harvard Black Commencement in 2017

(CNN)An Arizona man was arrested Friday in connection with posting threats to bomb Harvard University and shoot attendees at its Black Commencement in 2017.

Nicholas Zuckerman, 24, was indicted on two counts of transmitting in interstate and foreign commerce a threat to injure the person of another, according to a statement from the District of Massachusetts US Attorney's Office. Zuckerman will appear in federal court in Boston at a later date, the statement said.

Zuckerman's arrest comes one year after a concerned citizen reported threats made on Harvard University's Instagram account to the school's police, who referred the case to federal authorities.

According to the US Attorney's statement, Zuckerman allegedly posted a comment under a photo stating: "If the blacks only ceremony happens, then I encourage violence and death at it. I'm thinking two automatics with extendo clips. Just so no n***** gets away."

I see no mention of where he resides but his last residence is listed as Tempe and nothing about him ever being at Harvard
Such hate to want violence thousands of miles away
