Person Showed Gun At Sleeping Giant State Park In Hamden: Report

HAMDEN, CT — Authorities investigated a report of a person displaying a gun at Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden on Monday afternoon, according to multiple reports, including WFSB 3.

WFSB reports there was a police presence in the park around 1 p.m.

The person was believed to have left the park, and the state DEEP EnCon police checked the area where the incident was reported, according to NBC Connecticut.

A DEEP spokesperson told WFSB 3 that there is no threat to the public and the incident appeared to be a violation of a state statute that specifies that “no person shall carry, draw, exhibit or brandish a facsimile of a firearm or simulate a firearm in a threatening manner, with intent to frighten, vex or harass another person.”
