A male student admitted to Central Michigan University Police Saturday morning that he was responsible for the four hangman nooses found inside a classroom earlier this week.
"The suspect, identified as a male CMU student, called police late Saturday morning and confessed to his role in the incident," according to a statement posted on the CMU Web site Saturday afternoon.
It has yet to be determined whether or not the nooses were meant to target a specific individual or group.
Upon completing their investigation, CMU Police will forward information over to Isabella County Prosecutor Larry Burdick early next week for review, said Police Chief Stan Dinius.
"I feel that this was the responsible decision for someone to come forth," said Detroit sophomore Carly Wilson.
Detroit junior Kierre Majors said even though someone came forward, she will not be fully relieved until the case is closed.
"I have some sense of clarity now," said Majors, president of Students Against Discrimination. "It gives me some type of relief, but until we get to end of this is when the problem will be solved."
The university allowed the FBI to assist with the investigation, which began Monday after a student came across four hangman nooses hanging from Engineering and Technology Building room 228.

Good. Hope he gets punished appropriately. Nice to see this pursued and dealt with swiftly and properly.

I am a proud parent of a CMU student and its is very disturbing to to find out that prior to finding the four nooses there were two others that were never mentioned. (Continued…)

It's really sad that there are still people that take such things as "hate towards them" still in this time and age. Get over it. We don't live in the south. (Continued…)
