MADISON, Wis. â?? At first, police warned that a suicidal man claiming to have a gun was loose on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
Students were told to stay home. Classes were canceled on the west side of campus. Dozens of police officers, some with guns drawn, scoured the area.
Then on Friday, three days after the escaped inmate phoned in his threats, police said the calls may have come from more than 2,000 miles away.
