Bristol Eastern High School was placed into a secure school situation earlier today after the Bristol Police Department and the Board of Education were notified that a student may be in possession of a weapon, a release from the Police Dept. announced.
Administration and the Bristol Police Department immediately responded, removed the student from class and investigated the report. Although this is an ongoing investigation, this incident was deemed to not be a threat to the school or community and no weapon was found.
“We understand that incidents such as this create feelings of fear and anger,” the release stated. “That is why the Bristol Police Department will take any threat against our schools seriously. Our response will be swift, our investigation thorough, and consequences in accordance with the laws of this state.”
Anyone with information in regard to this investigation should contact Officer Travisano at (860) 584-3250/
