2 teens arrested in connection with possible threat at Norwalk school – NBC Connecticut

Two teenagers were arrested in connection with a possible threat to a Norwalk school.

The Norwalk Police Department's Special Victims Unit learned of a Snapchat post on Tuesday that suggested a possible school shooting and bombing.

During the investigation, the post was traced to a home in Norwalk. Police said they identified a 14-year-old believed to be responsible for the post.

According to police, a 13-year-old from Norwalk was also involved in sharing or creating the post.

Investigators said that after speaking with the two teens and their parents, it was determined that the post was not credible and referenced an online gaming platform the teens were active on. The post was reportedly intended as a joke.

Both teenagers were charged with disturbing the peace and summoned to juvenile court.

Authorities stress that the post was a hoax and Norwalk Public School was never a target of the attack. Officials said they are working with the school system to ensure the safety of all students and staff in the schools.

The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.
