Heisman finalist Suh reports Facebook threat

Nebraska defensive tackle says student threatened to shoot classmate

OMAHA, Neb. - A threat against a Dallas student has been found on a Facebook fan page for Heisman Trophy finalist Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska.

Kevin Janse of the Dallas police says the threat was reported to Lincoln, Neb., police, who notified authorities there.

Janse says officers interviewed the student Friday at Jesuit College Preparatory School and deemed the threat not credible. No charges will be filed.

Janse said Suh saw the threat and reported it. But Nebraska spokesman Keith Mann says the defensive lineman knew nothing about it. Suh told him the fan page was likely one of several accounts with his name started by other people.

Lincoln police did not immediately comment.
