Graffiti-Induced Shutdown

Several schools shut down today because of scrawled "4/14" threats.

5 schools in my neighborhood were closed - one college, 2 high schools, and 2 elementary schools. They're all on one big grassy campus.

It's the 2 month anniversary of the killings at the Northern Illinois. But, really, scrawled threats don't seem to fit the pattern. When someone decides to shoot up a school they mostly seem to do it without warning. Which, in its own twisted disgusting way, makes sense.

I have a nephew who attends one of the closed elementary schools. He said his plan for today was to play football on the grass at the closed campus.

I suspect he was assigning the correct level of threat,
especially since the day is done and nothing's happened yet.
