(WPXI) – Christopher Moran, 43, is behind bars at the Allegheny County Jail after reportedly threatening to blow up St. Clair Hospital in Mount Lebanon on Tuesday. Mount Lebanon police brought Moran to the hospital on Monday, but did not say why. On Tuesday morning around eleven o’clock, hospital risk management notified police of a bomb threat. Police said Moran called in the threat from inside the hospital, claiming he was discriminated against. He allegedly said, “If you throw me out to the wolves, you better believe I’m going to come back here with a (expletive) bomb, and I mean it,” before leaving his name at the end of the message. Moran was out of jail on a non-monetary bond at the time of the threat, for a separate incident in which he is currently facing charges including two counts of simple assault, reckless endangerment and terroristic threats. Police say Moran also has a past history of allegedly assaulting other patients and threatening staff. A judge denied bond in this latest incident, saying Moran poses a threat to the community. A preliminary hearing is set for April 6th.
