University officials declined to identify the individual, who they said is not affiliated with UChicago, citing an ongoing Chicago Police Department investigation.
A fourth-year was arrested by the Chicago Police Department at the October 11 pro-Palestine protest and charged with Class 2 Aggravated Battery to a Peace Officer.
A pro-Palestine rally saw three protesters arrested and physical altercations between protesters and officers. Earlier, protesters locked Cobb Gate using a bike lock, and multiple police officers used pepper spray and batons. Protesters damaged UCPD vehicles and kicked at least one officer.
At 7:39 p.m., the Chicago Police Department’s communications division told The Maroon that the threat was “non–bona fide.” The University later confirmed that there was no evidence of a shooting.
The fire took place on January 2 in a single-occupancy room on the sixth floor of Woodlawn Residential Commons. No one was injured.
