www.kcrg.com/Not sure if this is somehow related to the riot over the weekend that cost the Panther FB team a couple players, but it's pretty scary up there right now. I hope it turns out to be nothing serious!

Now they're saying that nothing has happened yet, and that they know who the guy is and that he's coming from DM. But they're saying it sounds like a credible threat. He won't get inside the dorm obviously, but who knows how it will end at this point.

Yep, they've apparently located the guy on campus, but no word about a weapon yet.

LMAO, KGAN is still not aware that it's over. They're still trying to interview students over thei cell phones. They should have someone watch their competitor's websites!

Apparently the threat from DSM isn't contained yet. The one they have contained up there is a seperate incident.

Now they're saying they won't give an "all clear" yet, so that may be what you're dealing with over there.

Sorry I didn't see this original post before I posted. I have a niece and nephew at UNI. I just don't understand this violence we've seen across the country lately. Scary stuff.

from KCRG, probably what Trav is referring to: "Spokesperson for UNI says several agencies are actively searching for suspect who made threat to girlfriend in Dancer Hall." EDIT: just saw your post Trav -- good job! Funny we got the news here in the Wasteland before the TV folks.

I have an inside source for this... Polk County, Windsor Heights PD and State Patrol in Des Moines all worked in conjunction to take him into custody with no issues.

I'm just a dispatcher, the real work is done on the streets, be it police or fire.

"Just" a dispatcher??? Trav, I'm sure you have lots of days at work that I wouldn't be able to handle. I knew a lady who was a police dispatcher a few years ago. My hat's off to you!

Thanks Flyhawk, it does get crazy...ok, hella crazy in here at times. Polk County Comm center is the largest in the state. We dispatch for 14 different fire departments and 8 different police departments, as well as the 5th Judicial District and all the Federal agencies use us if they need radio contact. I am starting to get burnt out a little bit, but something keeps me coming back on a daily basis. Probably my ability to get on the Wasteland when it's bored. I LOVE it when it is just outta control busy though. It's fun.

There was always something going on in "the towers" when I was at UNI, but jeebus.... Whatever happened to the good ol' fashioned fist fight? Are people just that "pussified" nowadays that they just resort to going the "gun route"? Anyways... glad to see that everything turned out okay!

No kidding...I'm guessing you didn't learn about lockdowns when you were in kindergarten. We now practice them twice each semester; the same amount as a fire or tornado drill. We also have a full district evacuation once a year.
