Armed Man Claiming Al Qaeda Membership Holds Classroom Hostage

Wednesday, September 17, 2003



DYERSBURG, Tenn. — A gunman who left a note saying he "wanted to kill some people and die today" took at least a dozen people hostage in a college classroom Wednesday afternoon, releasing three students several hours later, authorities said.

No injuries or gunshots were reported in the standoff at Dyersburg State Community College (search), about 75 miles northeast of Memphis. The gunman, believed to have a 9mm pistol and what looks like a butcher knife, had not made any demands -- aside from water to drink -- but said he will kill himself, Police Chief Bobby Williamson said.

The gunman claimed to be a member of Al Qaeda (search), and Williamson said that although authorities have no reason to believe the claim, the FBI (search) had been called in. Justice Department officials in Washington also said they had no evidence that the gunman was a member of the terrorist organization.

Police identified the gunman as Harold Kilpatrick Jr., a 26-year-old Memphis man who was staying in Dyersburg with his sister. In the suicide note, left at his sister's house, he also said he didn't like Americans and had spoken with Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden, Dyersburg Police Chief Bobby Williamson said.

It sure is a crazy mixed up world, drifter ain't it? It seems every day there's some nut case who wants to kill and then do himself. What is going on in this world? It blows my mind sometimes.
