Hatfield Man Threatens to Shoot Up Medical Facility, Charged with Felony Terroristic Threats

Richard Henning Jr., 54, of Hatfield.

A Hatfield man is facing felony charges after he allegedly threatened to shoot up a medical facility off of County Line Road.

According to a release from the New Britain Township Police Department, police were dispatched to a medical facility on Horizon Circle at 1:19 p.m. on June 27 for a report of a threat towards the business and its employees. The release states that a man—identified as 54-year-old Richard Henning Jr.—left an angry voicemail allegedly stating “…I’m going to drive here and raise [expletive] holy hell. I’m taking guns and I’m going to start shooting [expletive] people.”

The facility was placed on lockdown for a period due to the voicemail, and Henning was later taken into custody.

As a result of the incident, Henning has been charged with felony counts of terroristic threats and criminal use of a communications facility, and misdemeanor counts of terroristic threats and harassment. He was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Regina Armitage, who set bail at 10-percent of $500,000 cash, and he was then remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility after failing to post bail.

Henning was released several weeks later, after posting the $50,000 cash bail. His next court appearance is a preliminary hearing on July 30 at 1:45 p.m. in front of Judge Armitage.

(Editor's note: All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using court records, the affidavit of probable cause, and reflects the point of view of the police. Should the defendant choose to issue a public statement, or is later found not guilty or has the charges dropped, we will update this article accordingly.)
