BEFORE: BOWES, PANELLA , AND FITZGERALD, JJ.*

CONCURRING STATEMENT BY FITZGERALD, J.: FILED JANUARY 05, 2016

        I agree with the learned majority that the evidence did not sustain

Appellant’s conviction for terroristic threats. I write separately to state my

view that under appropriate circumstances, physical gestures or other

symbols may “convey” a threat to commit a crime of violence with the intent

to terrorize another.     See 18 Pa.C.S. § 2706(a)(1), (e).    However, such

circumstances were not present in this case. Thus, I concur.
