Bomb Threat On Wall Reported At Enfield High School [UPDATED]

ENFIELD, CT — Local and state police investigated a bomb threat written on a bathroom wall at Enfield High School, which was discovered around 7:15 Friday morning.

Police Chief Alaric Fox said the building was not evacuated, but a pair of cross-trained canines from the Connecticut State Police were brought to the scene. Several students reported being in a "secure the building" status.

At 8:34 a.m., school officials released a message via the town's notification system, calling the situation a "low level threat" and confirming the 'secure the building' protocol is in place. The school was not in lockdown, however.

Superintendent of Schools Chris Drezek issued a message shortly after 10 a.m., indicating students had been moved to different parts of the building as the investigation proceeded. Nothing was found during a sweep of the building, and normal school activities resumed around 9:30 a.m.

Officials said there will be an increased police presence at the school throughout the day.
