Threat spurs Calif. school lockdown - Crime & Punishment - MSNBC.com
YUBA CITY, Calif. - Teachers locked classroom doors, lowered shades and kept nearly 22,000 school children inside all day Thursday in two northern California cities after a man threatened to go on a killing spree inspired by Monday’s mass murder at Virginia Tech.

Police patrolled public schools in Yuba City and nearby Marysville 40 miles north of state capital Sacramento after Jeffery Thomas Carney allegedly said he intended to make the mass slaying at Virginia Tech “look mild.”

Carney, 28, surrendered late Thursday to the Sutter County sheriff’s office, Sutter County sheriff Jim Denny said in a press conference.
