The mother of a Cornell University student accused of making online threats against Jewish people on campus said he had mental health struggles and later posted an apology

. Patrick Dai, 21, faces a federal charge of posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications after authorities say he made threatening comments on an online Greek Life forum late last month. The anonymous postings included threats to shoot and stab Jewish people on the upstate New York campus, rattling students and prompting police to increase security.

'Even more shameful because there is no excuse for the targeting of innocent civilians, much less my classmates.” Liu said prosecutors and the FBI should have publicly shared the apology. “Why didn’t they reveal this important piece of information?” she asked the newspaper. Emails seeking verification and information about the posting were sent to the FBI and Dai's federal public defender. Federal prosecutors in Syracuse said they had no comment.
