SAN ANTONIO, TX — A San Antonio man has been charged with threatening to kill Pittsburgh "Steelers football players and fans" during Sunday's playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a local media outlet reported.
Yuttana Choochongkol, 30, threatened multiple times to kill NFL players, fans and himself during the game in Pittsburgh at Heinz Field, police said in an affidavit, according to KSAT-TV. The affidavit reportedly said KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh received a threat from him on Thursday that said:
"This Sunday's playoff game in Pittsburgh is going to be like no other. Why? Because it's going to be my last day on this pathetic planet. So why not take some innocent lives with me? The Steelers game will be packed, and that's when I plan on killing Steelers football players and fans before taking my own pitiful life. After all, what does a person that is going to commit suicide have to lose? Absolutely nothing. So why not take out some million dollar Steelers players before me? Sounds like a good idea. Hahahahahah"
