An Indiana man is accused of making a social media threat to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis last week.
Jackson Fleming, 23, of Chesterton, Indiana, was charged with making a threat across state lines in that incident. A complaint charging Fleming with one count of transmitting a threat in interstate communication in violation was approved by a magistrate judge in the Northern District of Indiana on September 14, 2025.
The campus was placed on lockdown due to security concerns, during which a midshipman was shot in the shoulder but is expected to make a full recovery. The threat was later determined to be unfounded, and the lockdown was lifted.

Stupid is as stupid does.
What, did he have a couple of strategic bombers on hand with crews and bombs? What is one loser going to do against the academy…which is a campus? Its like someone saying they are going to attack IU….of course it’s unfounded. They might cause some harm to a gate guard but against the whole campus it’s ludicrous. Saying your going to do this on line is, well, stupid.
