The embedded audio file did not play. Thanks for the post, Kym.
It plays just fine
I’d pay close attention, this so called mass shooter is smart enough to find the only working payphone in northern Cali…
Ha! So true.
It was difficult to understand the caller. Perhaps he should put his teeth in.
Regardless there’s been a threat,of mass shooting.so he’s looking for a place with alot of people.thats not a joke.with all the shootings,murders,going on today,I’d take it most serious
For one, yes a threat was made and yes we should be cautious, but anyone who listened to that audio could clearly tell it was a call out for help as not many mass shootings have warnings via payphone, even terrorist use burner phones
fresh rumor that they have already made an arrest for this call…Hopefully someone can confirm this??

Please updatet
I heard he was caught panhandlin for quarters to make another call…
911 is a free call.
He doesn’t seem to be the brightest crayon in the box…
There is a working payphone right here in little ol Eureka? Good to know, I guess. Sorry doesn’t quite cut it for wasting the time of law enforcement – there ARE more appropriate ways to get needs met other than such drama.
So within hours the police can find a person who made a threat from a pay phone, but couldn’t arrest marci kitchen after running her daughter and daughters friend down and she was on her own phone. I couldn’t live with myself.
