Pittsburgh police teamed with Pennsylvania State Police and the FBI through a joint terrorism task force to track down the suspected source of the hoax on Twitter that threatened a hate crime at an unspecified Pittsburgh-area hospital."At 3:30 in the morning, they were... at the door of the suspect," Mayor Bill Peduto said. The tweet was made Tuesday and the suspect was located early Wednesday.Authorities say it was a 16-year-old in a town near the Beaver/Lawrence county border, and that he didn't intend to carry out the threat made on Twitter.The teen has been questioned but has not been arrested or charged as the investigation continues, police said."Of course, (with) what's going on nationally and what's happened here locally, people were on edge and rightfully so," said Pittsburgh police Cmdr. Eric Holmes, who heads the city police intelligence unit. "But I also want to thank our Pittsburgh community. We received a lot of phone calls, a lot of people called in to 911, they really took to heart the 'see something, say something (motto)' and really, some of that information helped our detectives."Holmes said they found the suspect by using "some good old-fashioned police work. We also had a really good partnership with our law enforcement partners, and of course we also reached out to some of the social media companies and whatnot to help us with the investigation."The hoax tweet was "extremely disruptive, to the point where you had workers afraid for their safety and social media calls (suggesting) 'Don't go to work tomorrow,'" said Chris Togneri, Pittsburgh public safety spokesman. "There was a possibility of people not showing up for work, so we wanted to get information out, so everyone knew as soon as possible that the threat was handled and people can go to work."UPMC Health System and Allegheny Health Network both told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 that they saw no increase in employee call-offs or patients canceling appointments Wednesday at their Pittsburgh-area hospitals. Both were cooperating with law enforcement as they investigated the threat.The FBI national website says "making a hoax threat against a school or other public place is a serious federal crime" and "those who post or send these threats can receive up to five years in federal prison, or they can face state or local charges."Peduto said law enforcement and prosecutors in the suspect's home county may determine what happens in regard to any charges."Either their DA, the local municipal government or state police will have jurisdiction as to whether charges will be filed, since a crime was not committed in the city of Pittsburgh," Peduto said.While Pittsburgh officials initially said the suspect's home was in Beaver County, Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 that the suspect's home appears to be across the county line in Lawrence County.The Lawrence County District Attorney's office was not available for comment.
