Sandy Hook Elementary School was evacuated Friday due to a phoned-in bomb threat on the sixth anniversary of the massacre at the school that left 26 children and staff members dead.
Newtown, Connecticut Police Lt. Aaron Bahamonde told CNN that police did not believe the threat was credible, but authorities and the principal decided to evacuate out of an abundance of caution.
It was also easier to sweep an empty school building with bomb-sniffing dogs, he said. There was no danger to the public, Bahamonde added…
“For a parent who has children at the school, even when we give the all clear, it’s difficult given that today is December 14th,” said Rodrigue. “Despite the difficulty of the day, staff and the community handled this courageously. I applaud their strength.”
