Man threatens to bomb hospital for refusing coronavirus test

Utah loon hauled in by cops on terrorist charge after saying he’ll blow up medical facility.

These are trying times for all of us, but there’s simply no excuse for the reaction of a Utah man who came face to face this week with the reality of a healthcare system struggling to cope.

Brian James Gosh, 41, called the Intermountain Medical Center (IMC) in Murray on Wednesday and asked to be tested for COVID-19, KUTV reports.

When a hospital employee told him that the IMC was unable to provide a test, Gosh became irate.

He allegedly threatened to bring a bomb to the hospital and place it inside the cafeteria or a conference room, according to a probable cause statement.

Gosh also chillingly advised the employee to “keep their family safe.”

When police came to take him into custody, Gosh put up a struggle and was reportedly “suicidal with a firearm.”

He faces a third-degree threat of terrorism charge with no bail requested.

He “would constitute a substantial danger to any another individual or to the community, or is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court if released,” police said.
