UPDATED: Allgrove School In East Granby Locked Down Thursday, Situation Over And All Clear

Update: While the exact nature of the lockdown of East Granby's Allgrove Elementary School is still under wraps because it involves an ongoing investigation by East Granby police, Granby-East Granby Patch has gathered a few more details about the school's relatively brief use of the secured building protocol Thursday afternoon.

While the exact nature of the incident cannot yet be released by town officials, we have learned that the lock down procedure was initiated because of a perceived threat to the school that ultimately turned out to be a false alarm.

"[The town and the school system] took the proper precautions," said East Granby First Selectman Jim Hayden.

The lockdown protocol was enacted around 2:30 p.m. and lifted in the 3 p.m. hour as police officers and town officials realized there was no actual threat to the building, young students, faculty or staff.
