frmr college player and coach threatens to bomb elementary

Chris Craig, a former basketball player and college coach, entered a Utah elementary school, saying he had a bomb and the kids needed to be evacuated. He sent a long, very scary manifesto to an El Paso news outlet who was simultaneously notifying authorities. All kids were safely evacuated and he was taken into custody. Unfortunately he has a long history of mental illness (see old SI article). I suspect he wanted to be caught or worse as it appears he didn’t actually have a bomb, but thankful for educators who kept their cool and for quick acting police. http://fox13now.com/2016/09/19/eagle-valley-elementary-students-evacuated-for-possible-threat/

His manifesto is frightening and very sad, knowing that support for the mentally ill is woefully inadequate. I see SO many posters even on this site who battle mental illness and I hope they find the help they need. https://chriscraigs.blogspot.com/2016/09/in-honor-of-skylar-dore.html?m=1
