Injuries at New Haven Courthouse After Person Yells 'Bomb' or 'Gun': PD

NEW HAVEN, CT — State Police are investigating after a disturbance at New Haven Superior Court caused some minor injuries.

Troopers responded around 12:20 p.m. to the court house after marshals reported an unidentified man was in the courtroom chanting, said Trooper First Class Kelly Grant, police spokesman.

"The man was not in the courtroom for his own court case, nor was he there for someone he knew," she said.

The judge asked the man to leave, but he refused and was removed by court marshals.

"At some point a person in the courtroom yelled either 'bomb' or 'gun' causing people in the courtroom to run out," Grant said.

The man who is currently unidentified is being held as the investigation continues. No weapons or bombs were located.
