Newtown Schools Threat Called a 'Horrible, Evil Thing to Do' To Scarred Town

Schools in Newtown, Conn., were placed on "lockdown" today after a phoned-in threat, a scare that one mom called a "horrible, evil thing to do" to a town still recovering from the December massacre of 20 first graders.

The schools were placed on modified lockdown, in which students were dismissed to parents or by bus, after a threat was called in to Hawley elementary school, according to schools superintendent John Reed.

Reed said that the threat was being investigated by police and the FBI and that it was not a "bomb threat," though he would not give details on the nature of the phone call.

Newtown police said they put schools on lockdown for "precautionary measures" but would not offer any other details.
