Powers took the memo and shot it several times with a .22-caliber handgun before returning it to the office, the document says.

"Before returning it to the office..." Where was the memo taken and shot? If to a licensed shooting range, his actions may be unsubtle but I don't see anything actionable about them unless they were accompanied by other verbal or written threats.

Memo in question, in critical condition (Nebraska All Souls Hospital):

Seeee! It's that sort of mentality that laid waste to my beautiful life as an office memo! Please, will someone call Sarah Brady?

Really! He seems perfectly able to administer therapy to me. He knows the subject.

I have to disagree with you here; returning the shot-up memo in and of itself is a reasonably actionable threat.

Go ahead and shoot up the memo (in a safe environment - backstop and all) and I would agree that it's No Big Deal. But to return it, holey, to the office is a clearly violent threat.
