Threat Directed At Oxford High School; Suspect Confesses: State Police

OXFORD, CT — A threat directed toward Oxford High School early Monday morning prompted a temporary closure as local and federal officials conducted an investigation.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation notified Connecticut State Police at Troop A in the early morning hours. Proper notifications were immediately made and the school was closed to the public and school activities out of an abundance of caution, state police said.

During the investigation, a suspect was interviewed and admitted to making the threat. There was no information released by state police about the suspect or any pending charges.

The school grounds have been reopened to normal activities, according to state police.
