MASSACRE AVOIDED Man in FBI custody after making Super Bowl threat
PHOENIX — A restaurateur angry at being denied a liquor license threatened to shoot people at the Super Bowl and drove to within sight of the stadium with a rifle and ammunition before changing his mind, federal authorities said.
Kurt William Havelock said in a manifesto mailed Sunday to media outlets that he would "shed the blood of the innocent," according to court documents.
The documents said he was armed with an AR-15 assault rifle when he reached a parking lot near University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, where pre-game activities occurred.

Missouri players involved in fights, repeat incidents
BASKETBALL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Since the hiring of coach Mike Anderson less than two years ago, five Tiger players have been involved in off-court violence or misconduct.
Capt. Mike Martin said that both Hannah and Horton, along with sophomore guard Keon Lawrence and junior guard Mike Anderson Jr., were interviewed by police after Carroll's shooting.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Two University of Missouri basketball players involved in an altercation that left one with a broken jaw and the other facing criminal assault charges were seen at two earlier fights that resulted in gunfire last year, police said Thursday.
Police said that Carroll and an unidentified 23-year-old man were shot after an early morning argument between Club Tropicana employees, bar patrons and people
outside the club.
In the convenience store incident, officers responded to a Break Time parking lot after 2 a.m. on Dec. 16, 2007, when police heard three to five gunshots. No injuries were reported, though a clerk said that 30 people were in the parking lot before the shots were fired.
Police interviewed both Hannah and Horton about that fight but were not considered suspects, Martin said. Three other men later were arrested in the shooting.
Martin said that Carroll was not involved in the fight, echoing statements by Anderson and his spokesman that Carroll, who is Anderson's nephew, was caught in the crossfire while trying to break up the dispute. There have been no arrests in that shooting.
Two days after the Athena assault, Anderson responded by suspending Hannah, Horton and three other players for violating curfew.
Senior guards Steffon Hannah and Jason Horton — along with two other teammates — were present when teammate DeMarre Carroll was shot in the ankle outside a downtown nightclub in July 2007, police Capt. Mike Martin said. Hannah and Horton also were at a later fight that resulted in gunfire outside a convenience store, Martin said.
The presence of Hannah and Horton at the convenience store is an apparent violation of a 9 p.m. curfew Anderson established after Carroll's shooting as part of what he called a "zero-tolerance" policy.
The disclosure, first reported by the Columbia Daily Tribune, raises more questions about player brushes with the law in light of a Jan. 27 fight outside the Athena nightclub that left Hannah, the team's leading scorer the past two years, with a broken jaw.
The curfew was moved back to 11 p.m. on weeknights and midnight on weekends at the beginning of the school year.
Horton, who joined Hannah as a starter in Missouri's backcourt, was later arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault, after a 26-year-old Athena employee told police Horton repeatedly punched him in the face.
