A former University of Massachusetts Amherst student who was charged with threatening to commit a shooting is off the hook.
Geoffrey Small of Newbury had his name cleared in Hampshire Superior Court , several months after the case had been dropped in Eastern Hampshire District Court.
Prosecutors said Small's dorm mate overheard him tell someone on the phone the school needed to be "shot up" back in January, and had also heard him say he wanted to shoot his professors late last year.
Judge Richard Carey determined Small had no intent to act on what he said in his ruling.
