The former Olympic College student, described as “very abusive,” told the student loan company over the phone that he would not be paying off his loan.
“He will be killing quite a few people and possibly himself,” the phone center supervisor told Bremerton police.
When the former student allegedly made the threats March 4 to shoot Olympic College students, it set off a campus-wide lockdown that became the college’s first real test of its emergency procedures.
In a world in which the threats of an angry person can pose legitimate dangers to campuses and workplaces, schools such as Olympic College have had to reevaluate how they protect their campuses.
