UW update: Man’s threats ‘a cry for help’

UW-Madison and Madison police continue to search for a suicidal man who claimed to have a weapon and said he wanted officers to shoot him.

Police, however, said it was not clear whether the man was ever in the hospital area. UW-Madison Police said they believe the man is a threat to himself but not to UW-Madison students or staff. UW Police Sgt. Jason Whitney said Wednesday that officials did not believe Miller was armed or on campus.
