Great, just what we need.. They release the guy on Monday and we are just told about it today. I'm guessing that he hasn't been flagged in NICS either. At least the Hospital says they maintain a safe campus.. http://www.falfiles.com/forums/rolleyes.gif

LITTLETON, Colo. — Police in Littleton have issued a safety alert while they search for a missing man who has made threats about committing mass shootings.
They say 24-year-old Adam Howard is missing and he has access to deadly weapons.
Officers were called to Littleton Adventist Hospital on April 6 to check on Howard. He was at the facility for suicidal and homicidal thoughts.
Police say he admitted to buying an AR-15 as well as possessing 250 rounds of ammunition. Read the safety alert here.
They say he mentioned he wanted to walk into Littleton Adventist Hospital and “shoot as many people” as he could since the mental health system “failed him.”
Howard also said he wanted to go into a random Target store to “shoot a mass number of people because it’s an easy target.”
He was released from Littleton Adventist on Monday even after his threats. Now police can’t find him.
Littleton Police searched his home and they say they found a fully loaded AR-15 rifle and several loaded magazines. They were given to his grandmother for safekeeping.
Littleton Adventist CEIO Brett Spenst issued a statement late Thursday afternoon:
“When there is an imminent, serious and specific threat, Littleton Adventist Hospital immediately notifies the appropriate authorities including the police department. We have established protocols in place to protect the safety of our patients, visitors and staff. Because of privacy laws, we cannot speak about specific patients or details of treatments. However, we want to assure the entire community that we have taken extensive measures to ensure that our campus is a safe environment.”
