At this point, the motive for the crime is not known.

Binghamton University was also in the news last month (November 10), when anti-Israel activist Cynthia McKinney spoke there, and a controversy erupted over pro-Israel pamphlets that had been distributed outside being confiscated inside the hall by event organizers.
