DEVELOPING: Schools in Ridgefield, Conn., are on lockdown following reports of a "suspicious person" possibly armed with a rifle. Ridgefield is approximately 19 miles from Newtown, where 20 children and six adults were killed Friday when a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook elementary school. Ridgefield Superintendent Deborah Low released a statement Monday saying that schools in the district "have been put into lockdown." "Due to a report of a possibly suspicious person in the Branchville Train Station area, all schools have been put into lockdown. Branchville Elementary school buses have been diverted to East Ridge Middle School and BES students are in the auditorium," Low said. Lt. J. Paul Vance, Connecticut State Police spokesman, said during a press conference Monday that the individual spotted in Ridgefield is possibly armed. "Were not sure what the situation is," Vance said. "Ridgefield is handling that situation."

What’s “lockdown”? More “Gun Free Zone” signs?
Lock the doors, turn out the lights, huddle in a corner like cotton-tailed rabbits. No one in or out till the police give an ‘all-clear’
Copycat?
Certainly the immediate safety is No. 1....
School alarms....speakers....cameras....Damn....just damn
News radio reported that the lockdown has been lifted, and there is no danger to the community in that area.
Speaking of suspicious people, what ever happened to the person dressed in camo that was found in the woods near the school?
“Lock the doors, turn out the lights, huddle in a corner like cotton-tailed rabbits.”
When I was in school all the guys had hunting rifles in their pickups, sometimes in their lockers. NO ONE ever got shot! But I can bet you if some nutjob had gone in their shooting, one of these guys would have taken him out before he harmed anyone. We’re teaching our kids to be cowards.
Pickups are illegal here in CT.
;-) Just kidding. Though I don’t doubt the libbies here would outlaw them if they could.
Cameras?
Do you want pictures of the shooter killing the kids before he kills himself?
It’s time we stop being pussies.
That political cartoon is so right. This constant 24/7 repeated coverage is going to either inspire another disturbed person to out do the carnage at Sandy Hook or give a jihadist cell an idea. These news stations should realize how their constant coverage is going to be the root cause of another massacre.
LOCK DOWN - Ever notice just how fond leftist educators are of prison terminology...?
FORESHADOWING.
A gun! A gun! Send out SWAT! Lockdown the schools! Call the msm! Plug in TOTUS!
Oh, wait, it was only some innocent person minding his own business walking down the street with an umbrella.
The list of “soft targets” - schools, offices, movie theaters, hospitals, nursing homes, apartment bldgs, shopping malls etc - are vast, and when the subhuman, murderous muzzie terrorist sleepers get their *GO!* orders, the carnage will be unimaginable. I’ve been saying this since 9-12-01. When we’re finally disarmed by 0bummer&Co, we’re all just so many fish in the barrel.
Parents actually sent their kids to school, today?
