Man accused of threatening ‘Columbine’ attack at Art Institute

A 32-year-old Duluth man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly making threats against the Art Institute of Atlanta.

“The threat stated, ‘Columbine 2014 will go down today,’” Sgt. Ron Momon with Sandy Springs police said.

Anthony Michael Kallio, former student, emailed the threat, according to police. The Art Institute of Atlanta, located at 6600 Peachtree Dunwoody Road, was evacuated and closed after the threat Tuesday afternoon.

Kallio was charged with terroristic threats and transported to the Alpharetta jail, Momon said. Detectives were executing a search warrant for his residence Tuesday night.
