Danbury School District officials are looking to clear up a rumor that circulated on Friday.  The Danbury schools did not go into lockdown.  Danbury Police say there were police investigations in New Milford and Bethel that day which did result in temporary lockdowns out of an abundance of caution.  The matters were resolved and did not affect the City of Danbury. 

In Bethel, Police arrested a person in connection with a domestic incident early Friday that involved a firearm.  Police responded to a home around 7am and learned that a firearm was involved, but the suspect left before they arrive.  The person was  located and was taken into custody without incident. 

New Milford schools were placed in a shelter in place for about a half-hour Friday morning due to an active police investigation in a nearby town that involved a suspect involved in a potential crime. There was no immediate threat to our schools.
