Sandy Hook School Evacuated After Receiving Bomb Threat On Shooting Six-Year Mark
- 5 years ago
Students at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT were forced to evacuate after receiving a bomb threat on Friday.
The threat made on the six-year mark of the 2012 shooting where 20 first-graders and six educators were murdered.
NBC Connecticut reports the school received the threat at around 9 a.m. The families who lost their loved ones at the massacre and the school have been at the center of horrifying right-wing conspiracy theories for years. This has led to a heightened sense of anxiety among Newton residents, which led to the school superintendent to cancel classes and send students home in light of the threat.
Authorities searched the premises and said the threat was not credible, but the evacuation was done as a precaution.
