semester. The series of threats

University-owned apartments,
causing frequent evacuations
from campus buildings.
The Pitt News also reported
Thursday that the University of
Pittsburgh Police Department

had allegedly sent threatening
e-mails to four professors at Pitt
and also posted messages on his
Facebook in which he acknowl-
edged communication wit

exact series of threats some
ago in order to help me to t
story about an America that
of you should be proud of,":
