@ddale8 "subsidary"? I've never heard that word and the Internet doesn't seem to have either. Even if he meant or said "subsidiary," it doesn't seem that word is ever used to mean a beneficiary of a subsidy. @RobinSimcox

It's the second time such an incident has happened at the center in the last year, and it's more a question of when a threat will be called in, than if it will be, Shtulman said.
