A UT-Arlington student who claimed she was threatened at gunpoint on campus this week admitted Friday that shed lied, a university spokeswoman said.
The student told police she hadnt even been at the school the day she said the incident occurred.
UT-Arlington had been investigating the complaint with Arlington, Denton and University of North Texas police, school spokeswoman Kristen Sullivan said.
Officials have not released the students name, and it was unclear Friday night whether she would be charged with filing a false police report.
The student could not be reached for comment.

What would they do under Sharia law? Cut her tongue out?
An alumnus of UTA at work refers to it as the “University of Turks and Arabs”
She should do two years in prison.
I blame the recruiting office at UTA for bringing in Indians, Pakistanis, Iranians (during the Shah), etc. Even today, they seek Indonesian, Filipino and other Asian students. They see it as increasing the school’s prominence.
I had an intense argument a few years ago at the alumni association against offering work-study positions preferentially to international students, because it let them offer in-state tuition.
I said it was wrong to use state funds to subsidize those from overseas and give work history to engineering students who wouldn’t work here, while penalizing students whose parents paid taxes for years and who would contribute here over a lifetime. If they wanted “diversity”, subsidize the kid from Indiana over India - it broadens everyone’s perspective.
They said they wanted to raise awareness of the school. I said save money and go to the high school down the street, where I’d presented for engineering day and almost none of the kids knew of the engineering school, though most knew of the nursing school.
I was over-ruled; the international prestige was more important, luring more international students was more important. That the Middle East and Indonesia had larger student associations than local major cities was not important.
The irony is that public colleges say they give places to international students to raise money to help fund everything else, then offer perks to international students like this that belay the argument.
