Downers Grove Public Library announced earlier this month it was canceling a drag bingo event for teens after numerous threats. Now, the village mayor has revealed details of one of those threats: an anonymous letter that contained a single bullet. 'It's hard to believe someone thinks this is acceptable behavior,' Downers Grove Mayor Bob Barnett said in a Facebook post. 'If you find sympathy with the message, look long and hard in the mirror and consider getting help.' Accompanying Barnett's Facebook post were two photos of a single manila envelope mailed to DuPage County.
