October 7, 201511 yr My oldest son is a freshman at Eastern. I haven't heard from him, but I'm glad they are being safe.
October 7, 201511 yr Some guy called into KSR and said something about words being written on a wall or maybe a piano in blood. Anyone heard anything like this? On the bathroom wall: EKU Issues Safety Alert After Threat, Offers Reward - LEX18.com | Continuous News and StormTracker Weather
October 7, 201510 yr This is what escalated the threat: It was found on a message board. It is being taken seriously enough that the Colonels game Thursday has been moved to Georgetown College. I talked to my son today and the team will not even be practicing or staying on campus.
October 7, 201510 yr ^Okay, that's a bit terrifying. Yeah, I called my son to tell him I'd feel better if he didn't stay in the dorm tonight and he said that they have moved the whole football team off of campus. Very scary stuff given recent events. With the moving of practice and the game and the closing of campus it makes me wonder if the authorities know more about the legitimacy of the threat than they are saying.

Seem to be taking every precaution imaginable, which is a very good thing.
October 7, 201510 yr Agreed. Seem to be taking every precaution imaginable, which is a very good thing. On a less important note I hope between all the distraction of this situation and being emotionally spent from the death of their teammate and the near miss vs UK that the Colonels can focus on the game vs Tennessee Tech.
October 7, 201510 yr ^Okay, that's a bit terrifying. I just read that the picture above was posted on 4chan.
October 8, 201510 yr Anyone heard anything more about this. Apparently a threat was written on a bathroom wall in the EKU student center. And campus has been closed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/10/07/eastern-kentucky-university-shuts-down-over-written-threat-to-kill-all/
October 8, 201510 yr Stupid IMO I could go take a crap in the bathroom there and write on the wall. Are they going to cancel classes then. If I was planning on doing that I sure wouldnt warn anyone.
October 8, 201510 yr There's more to it than just a message written on a wall.... http://bluegrasspreps.com/bluegrasspreps-coms-break/alert-eku-after-312868.html
October 8, 201510 yr Some stuff online too. Not worth the chance for a class or two. Give the authorities a chance to focus more on investigation than protection and maybe they'll get this guy.
October 8, 201510 yr Probably not anything to this. Just a foolish college kid. Campuses are full of them. We have really good kids on our campus, but it does make you wonder if it could happen anywhere. Apparently EKU views this as very serious. Edited October 8, 201510 yr by Science Friction
