Brookfield Schools Receive New Round Of Bomb Threats

BROOKFIELD, CT — The Brookfield Town Clerk's Office has received new threats regarding bombs placed at Brookfield school locations, according to town officials,

Police say these anonymous threats, like the ones made Friday and Monday, are not credible. Similar such threats are widespread, according to police, and being sent to numerous people and organizations.

School will continue as normal and Town Hall remains open, town officials said.

Locations included in the Tuesday round of threats include Brookfield High School, Huckleberry Hill and Center School, and a shopping center in Danbury, along with several of the Danbury schools, according to an email from Superintendent John Barile, First Selectman Steve Dunn, and Chief of Police John Puglisi sent to families Tuesday afternoon.

School resource officers are now reviewing surveillance video and conducting interior and exterior campus walkthroughs prior to the start of the school day, according to the email.

On Friday, a bomb threat, delivered via email to local news stations, resulted in the closing of Town Hall and the three public school campuses. After a sweep through the threatened area with bomb-sniffing dogs, police determined there was no danger.

Friday's scare was followed by a second threat, received Monday just before 10 a.m., that was "very similar to the email on Friday," according to town officials.
