Threat leads to evacuation of Sandy Hook school

Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONROE, Conn. (AP) — A threat has led to the evacuation of the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

Nancy Bartosik of the superintendent’s office in the town of Monroe says the students are being moved Wednesday to a nearby school where they can be picked up by their parents. She says she does not immediately have information on the nature of the threat.

A gunman killed 20 first-grade students and six educators at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on December 2012. The students resumed classes in a school in the neighboring town of Monroe, also called Sandy Hook Elementary School. The original school building was torn down last year.

“'All students and all staff are absolutely 100 percent safe. Sandy hook will dismiss at noontime because of a low to no threat scare,' Newtown Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph V. Erardi, Jr. said in a voicemail sent to parents."

I hope they are convicted and forever forgotten in a Federal prison.

would be the most likely candidate.

Slight possibility it's a personal-dispute threat, but that seems far-fetched. RWNJ is my guess. Hope they catch the freak. Scaring kids sucks.
