The Associated Press adds details from a Jonesboro police report on the man who drove onto the Arkansas State University campus yesterday and prompted a campus lockdown after saying he might fire a shotgun into a propane tank in his pickup.

The report said that Brad Kenneth Bartelt, 47, a former ASU student, called 911 himself after driving on campus and said he had a gun — a 12-gauge shotgun.

After he was taken into custody, he recounted to officers his unhappiness over something reported yesterday — that he'd been seriously injured in an accident while in commercial driver training at ASU-Newport. He didn't feel he'd been properly compensated for his injuries. Said the police report:

"He stated that he was going to come to the university and shoot other people but he realized that murder would be wrong, so he was going kill himself."
