A Florida International University student was arrested in Miami after police said she posted messages in a WhatsApp group chat that threatened violence tied to a scheduled campus event, a case that quickly rattled students and prompted university officials to describe the situation as a credible threat.
Gabriela Saldana, 23, was taken into custody near campus and charged with making a written threat to kill or do bodily harm, according to an arrest report cited by NBC Miami. The alleged threat was connected to an event set for Friday, April 10, 2026, at FIU, and police said the incident location was listed as the university's campus.
