Police dispatched to Somers schools after online threat

SOMERS, Conn. (AP) Police are being assigned to schools in Somers after an anonymous threat was posted online.

Officials say the threat was made over the Yik Yak app and suggested a school shooting. Authorities did not release the text of the threat.

The original post was removed and police said they don't know when it was made.

Police posted a counter-measure on the social media app alerting followers to a school shooting threat.

Last December, East Lyme police worked with the FBI to solve a vague online threat in which someone posted that ``East Lyme better get ready for a hail of bullets.'' A suspect was arrested days later.
