{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Colorado authorities have arrested a suspect who they say threatened a mass shooting at UCLA, according to a report.
The suspect was apprehended Tuesday, KABC-TV of Los Angeles reported. The man's identity was not immediately revealed, but the Los Angeles Times identified him as Matthew Harris, a former UCLA lecturer and postdoctoral fellow.
