Like the rest of the country, the Austin-area, where Texas State University is located, has seen a rise in people wearing creepy clown costumes. KXAN reports that there have been active threats to schools in the region. The station also reports that on the day of the Texas State attack, nearby San Marcos High School increased security after a “nonspecific” threat was made to the school on Twitter.
Anybody with any information is urged to contact the Texas State police at 512-245-2805.
