According to CBS News , Marberger was distrissed over issues at college, specifically being suspended for pulling a gun on a pledging member of his fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. One of his classmates spoke to CBS regarding the situation:
“From what I know is that he hazed a potential member of his frat, basically, and pulled out a gun on him. Everybody kind of thought it was a joke, so it was kind of let go. And then it was brought up to public safety later that week.”
This morning, November 17 at 9:45 AM, a warrant was issued for Jacob’s arrest.
When he was last seen, Marberger was driving a green 1997 Range Rover. Thus far, he has not made any threats against the school. He’s 5-foot-4 and weighs around 130 pounds.
