Man Arrested for Threatening Pitt-Oakland Professors; Bomb Threats Continue
A New York man has been arrested at Pittsburgh International Airport for allegedly threatening University of Pittsburgh professors through email, but the bomb threats on campus continue.
The university issued a statement saying 65-year-old Mark Lee Krangle of Croton-on-Hudson was charged with terroristic threats and harassment by communication.
On his Facebook page, Krangle says he believes he knows who is making the threats, and they are an attempt to get publicity for his book, “Revolution or Extinction.”
The university received seven more bomb threats today, bringing the total to 71, according to the daily student newspaper, The Pitt News.
The newspaper has also posted a map of where the bomb threats were received. You can find it here.
