The University of Illinois Police Department requests the help of the 
campus and the community in the investigation of a threat made in a note 
found at the Undergraduate Library.

A library patron found the note October 5 at about 11:30 a.m. in a men's 
restroom.  The note stated that on October 3, the author of the note had 
damaged a vehicle window at the Savoy 16 Theaters, 232 West Burwash 
Avenue, Savoy.  The note threatened that on Halloween night (October 31), 
the suspect intends to shoot a person on Green Street.

The Champaign County Sheriff's Office confirmed that it received a report 
at 2:00 a.m. on October 4 that a window of a vehicle parked at the 
theaters had been damaged sometime overnight.

A multi-jurisdictional team continues to assess and investigate the 
threat.  Members of the team include the Champaign Police Department, the 
Champaign County Sheriff's Office, the Champaign County State's Attorney's 
Office, the Illinois State Police, the University of Illinois Police 
Department and the Urbana Police Department.  The Federal Bureau of 
Investigation also is assisting.

Community members with information regarding this threat or the Savoy 
incident can contact the University of Illinois Police Department at 217-
333-1216.  People also may anonymously contact Crime Stoppers by calling 
217-373-8477, by submitting anonymous tips online at www.373tips.com or by 
texting Tip397 plus the relevant information to 274637 (CRIMES).  As we 
receive additional information that is relevant to your safety, we will 
offer updates to this message.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to sign up for the UI Emergency 
Notification System at http://emergency.illinois.edu.

Sincerely,
Jeff Christensen
Interim Executive Director of Public Safety
