NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Sandy Hook Elementary School students have been sent home for the day after a bomb threat forced an evacuation on the sixth anniversary of the massacre that killed 20 first-graders and six educators.
Newtown police say the threat was made at about 9 a.m. Friday and the school was evacuated. Lt. Aaron Bahamonde says there’s a heightened level of anxiety in town on the anniversary and the school superintendent decided to cancel remaining classes.
It’s unclear whether the threat was related to the bomb threats made nationwide Thursday.
The school where the shooting happened on Dec. 14, 2012, was knocked down and a new building was constructed at the same site.
Moments of silence were observed in Newtown and other places Friday morning in memory of the victims.
This is happening to schools all over the country today.
This was done by a paid crisis hoaxer.
There is a special place in hell for whoever did this.
Alongside the NRA…
Every politician who pockets its blood money…
And every gun-humping, mass-murder enabling, death-cult disciple who enables it.
Sentence the prick to five minutes in a locked room with all the parents and siblings who feel like expressing a view on the subject. Whatever crawls out will have learned a valuable lesson.
The prospect of spending eternity in Hell fails to dissuade a great many evil people from their chosen path. Frankly it’s a pretty weak deterrent in my estimation.
