Lockdown Lifted At Cheshire Middle School

CHESHIRE, CT — Dodd Middle School in Cheshire was taken out of lockdown Friday afternoon after the school received a threat.

"Based on their investigation, the Cheshire Police have concluded that there is no credible threat against staff, students, or the school."
