A kid in Milton is in a heap of trouble tonight

The one saving grace of the bomb threat called into the principal of the Pierce Middle School today was that it came at the end of the school day. Still, officials promptly called in explosives-sniffing dogs from Boston and Quincy, and Milton police began looking for a culprit - whom they quickly identified as a 13-year-old Pierce student, according to a letter sent to parents tonight by School Superintendent Mary Gormley:
This is unacceptable behavior and a crime and will be dealt with accordingly.

If my 13-year old did that ...
well, of course I'd want to see the evidence involved to make sure it wasn't a scapegoating situation that teens and administrators are famous for ... while he was in protective custody! High risk of adolescenticide there ...
Uhmmmm... Grammar Fail?
It's been a while since I've been in an english class, but isn't this a run-on sentence?
Sort of...
There is an implied subject of "action" (or like noun) and its a list afterwards. The "and" after behavior is what is throwing it off. I believe it should be a comma. Try "This action is unacceptable behavior, a crime and will be dealt with accordingly." But then again, it could also be two short sentences and make us all happy.
