Terrible stuff. The Middletown police apparently stopped and talked to the suspect shortly afterwards, but let him go. He's still outstanding:

It seems that the shooter had some previous relationship with the student, and apparently is an anti-Semitic nut:

Police said Morgan may be targeting the campus and its Jewish community.

In addition to the threats to Justin-Jinich, Morgan's journal entries made threats against Wesleyan and its Jewish students, officials have said.

Morgan, who has connections to New York, Colorado and Massachusetts, has not been apprehended, and university officials are asking students to remain inside and to be vigilant. Police also asked a synagogue nearby to close.
