Developing story...
Courthouses in Waterbury, New Haven, New London, Danielson, Bridgeport, Hartford, and Rockville have been evacuated. Bomb squads are currently sweeping the courthouses.
Another thread said bomb threats.
that's 7 ?
Happens all the time...hope this is just another empty threat by an angry defendant.
The threat was supposedly very general in nature, which might explain why they are evacuating so many courthouses. Doesnt seem like state police know exactly which are is the subject of the "unspecified threat."
yeah! they left out Norwich. Willimantic, too.
Probably some fool who didn't want his day in court. Hope they catch the bastard and prosecute to the fullest.
You are correct. Initial reports were that it was only 5, but they seem to be widening the evacuations.
Must be looking for activist Judges...
/s
does that mean the total is now 9 ?
Fox News giving good coverage of this.
WTIC AM has no details about this. I have to run out for a few hours, so I won't be able to post an update until later tonight...
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
FoxNews reporting that calls went to several court houses, but only 5 closed; others remain open.
Did my brother in law just use the toilet?
Threat came by phone through the constituent services of the Governor's office. Not typical behavior for a terrorist, maybe a one-off whacko.
no. i bet norwich and willi are feeling left out tho...
Thanks for the clarification.
unspecified threat??
any addition info on specified threat?
It was a bomb threat delivered to the Governor's office. The threat referenced a "courthouse" but was not specific.
