All is calm Denton Texas Woman's University, but this was not the case last week in the arts and building sciences.
Christopher Alan Gillette, 30, is having to make terrorist threats during a class. His alleged tirade alerted the 25 students in history class.
"He is certainly aware that ex-military and has the training," said Colleen Hester, TWU student. "Something about how he would harm anyone on campus, but that something must be done and it would hurt someone. "
Students in the class, said his actions he witnessed was almost crying.
"I could not see his face, he was facing the teacher," said Amanda Saye, TWU student. "It was pretty scary."
Witnesses said Gillette has criticized the government for not compensating veterans. He complains is not the right medication prescribed.
"He said he was in much pain," said Saye. "He did not know if he will need to go to the hospital."
Dr Paul Travis has been teaching the class history and Gillette said he could walk. If the student left, the professor contacted the police.
A text was immediately instructed the students to stay inside because the campus has been sent to the lock. The Pioneer University Alert System is designed to send alerts to students, staff and parents in an emergency.
"I have chills," said Hester. "Once the cops came in and realized that, then you start thinking about things and you realize how difficult it can be. This was the same boy who wanted to start a movement of 911 truth."
Gillette said the students had gone on tirades against the government, while they were relieved he was on the campus of the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center, turn left.
TWU police arrested him shortly after and charged with uttering terrorist threats.
Some students want to change the location of the history class, because they fear may return Gillette.
Gillette recently wrote a letter to U.S. Congress Michael Burgess. Gillette said its "complaint with the central government relates to a lack of adequate medical care, which I earned because of their honorable service to the nation." Gillette has asked the government to apologize to her private medical care and compensation for his pain and suffering. He ended the letter by saying that if his demands were not meet, he began to prepare for aggressive battle against the government.
This incident is reminiscent of the draft law on firearms campus, currently before Parliament that common sense. The draft legislation would be required for teacher and students over 21 years for a handgun on campus. You must have a concealed carry license.
