Stissing Mountain High School Principal Being Held Hostage

November 10, 2009 by Morbid  

Filed under: Crime, hostage 

PINE PLAINS, New York – I am sure almost every bit of this information will change as this story goes on, but reports are saying that a gunman, possibly a parent of a student, is holding the principal of Stissing Mountain High School hostage. The high school is currently on lockdown. Police are in contact with the gunman and have him confined to one room. Pine Plains Town Supervisor Gregg Pulver tells CNN the students “are safe at this point in time.” All of this began at around 8:30 a.m., no reports on why yet. I’ll add to this as more info comes out. Update: The man surrendered to police. They are saying no shots were fired, he was a former student and in his 40s

    I wonder if it's still the same principal that he had? I don't understand why he came and done this so long after his h.s. yrs.

    Wacko!

    PINE PLAINS, N.Y.—Upset by the treatment of U.S. military personnel, a 42-year-old father of an Army veteran sneaked a disassembled shotgun into a middle school just after classes began Tuesday, put it together in a bathroom, then held the principal hostage for more than two hours before surrendering without firing a shot, police said.

    Craft ordered Hess at gunpoint into an inner office where he restrained him and threatened to kill him to try to compel school officials and police to talk to media about his message "concerning the wrongful treatment of United States Military personnel," court documents said.

    Craft, wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt with an image of a pirate ship on the back at his arraignment, told a judge he was depressed and needed psychiatric care.

    "Jail is not the place I need to be," Craft told Pine Plains Town Justice Louis Imperato. The judge didn't respond to his request for psychiatric care.

    Craft has two sons who had attended the school, but school officials said neither was currently enrolled.

    Craft's elder son, also named Christopher, was a motor transportation operator in the Army from December 2006 through June 2009, the Department of Defense confirmed Tuesday evening.

    Craft, who went to school in the district, was charged with first-degree kidnapping and also faces charges of criminal possession of a weapon and criminal trespassing.


    Well, He got their attention, didn't he?
    My, My! Folks have lost themselves......
