DAYTONA BEACH — An Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University student who had posted threats suggesting he was going to commit a mass shooting on campus was arrested Thursday as he left his apartment with a backpack that contained a collapsible semi-automatic rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, Daytona Beach police said.

The suspect, John Hagins, 19, was taken into custody shortly after 9:30 a.m. at the Andros Isle Apartments at 100 Acklins Circle in Daytona Beach, Police Chief Jakari Young said. Hagins was charged with written threats to injure or kill, terrorism, and attempted first-degree homicide, all felonies. He was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail without bail.

Campus officials called police at 4:10 a.m. after a couple students who were part of a Snapchat group that included Hagins warned the officials of threats Hagins made on the social media platform, Young said.

“By the grace of God those two students came forward and prevented Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University from being the next national media story with regards to a mass shooting on that campus,” Young said.
