Third message found, police respond by e-mail
Tuesday, March 4, 2008
Police reported finding a third threatening message in a bathroom in Hills South on Monday in a campus-wide e-mail sent earlier today.
The police investigation into the message - as well as the threatening note found in Furcolo Hall yesterday and last week's threatening message in Bartlett Hall - is ongoing, though police believe the three are connected.
According to police, the language used in all three messages is similar. Yesterday, University spokesman Ed Blaguszewski confirmed that police had found a corrolation in language used in the threats at both Bartlett and Furcolo hall.
A search of campus buildings by police turned up no other notes or messages threatening violence.
Police are urging anyone with information to contact them at 545-2121. The anonymous tips line can be reached by dialing 577-TIPS (577-8477).
