to be held this afternoon: http://www.wtae.com/news/local/allegheny/Officials-Significant-developments-in-Pitt-bomb-threat-investigation/-/10927008/16136720/-/o1m6gvz/-/index.html

I'm wondering if there is new information or if this is to reassure students coming in that things are okay.

It wouldn't be held at the FBI if it were only for students.  Here's hoping they caught the responsible party(ies)!!!!

I really hope they finally caught someone!  Especially with the start of the new school year so close, I'm sure that administrators have been worried about the whole thing starting up again.

Thanks for sharing!  Let's hope it's something that can help put it all behind us.

??  I can't find the connection either, but check out his wikipedia page, pretty crazy stuff:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Busby

I agree - not sure about the connection, but that wiki page is creepy:(

I also wonder about the original threats--just a prank, or somehow connected with this?  Remember, the first 2 or 3 were written in bathroom stalls?

Oh good point! They didn't even mention that in the press conference (at least the part I heard...)

What the hell is an "Ireland Man" is he a man from Ireland?

I think whoever wrote the story needs to be fired....and then they could hire me! Would be nice to use my Journalism degree.

haha, and did you see the typo in the post gazette article?  "Pittsburgh's Join Terrorism Task Force"   Yeah, when talking about terrorism, it's really important to remember all of the letters in the word "joint" so that it doesn't seem like a recruitment group.....
