On Jan. 3, Mepham Principal Michael Harrington became aware of these comments, and he notified police. After an investigation, First Precinct officers were led to Anderson's home on Dewey Avenue in Bellmore where he was arrested without incident.
From Newsday: Court papers indicate he was heard saying: "I hate Mepham, and wish everyone would burn in hell," and, "That school tries to make its students homosexuals and defy God." The documents said he "continued to rant on and on and as the two female victims started to walk away from him," he said: "I would shoot the -- out of everyone in that school."
