Yikes. Sounds coordinated. I hope they can get to the bottom of it.

Wonder if its related to the funeral procession or the recent AJ sandy hook verdict. Evidently one or a group of sickos is behind this.

Listening to scanner app.

11:11 Norwich Tech reporting active shooting. Unclear if swatting (coordinated fake). Troopers en route nonetheless. Update: staff unaware of any incident. Troopers have inspected all rooms matching the given room number and have swept entire school. Just one more in this string.

12:15 Things seem to have calmed down a bit and State Police chatter seems mostly routine traffic, domestic disturbance, etc. Lockdowns and school sweeps are continuing though. Will probably sign off now.

Police Departments across the state are stretched thin as so many officers are attending the funerals today. Assholes are capitalizing on that by filing false reports to overburden the limited police services available. Fucking vultures.

I'm in suffield and just got an email from the superintendent telling us that they have police at all of the schools. Love having a school aged child in 2022 😕

An article I read said it’s happening country wide so it might not be related to the funeral

Apologies for the Share button formatting. This one works fine for me. There are lots to choose from and they are laden with ads unless you want to pay.

I’m listening to "Connecticut State Police Troops C,D,E,F,H,K, Norwich, Groton, Willimantic Police" with the Scanner Radio app. You can listen to it here: https://scannerradio.app/?l=NjI3Nzc

(Link doesn’t work for me. My app is called Scanner Radio.)

Ngl, this makes me nervous that there could be a real incident in the midst of all the chaos. Hopefully everything remains nothing more than a hoax.

I don’t understand why they do this. I had a minor fender bender last year in Hartford during a cop funeral at Xfinity and it took them 4.5 hours to respond. And yes the police had to come because the other Asshole who hit me was in a company truck and needed it documented

My district actually had several bomb threats called in to our elementary and high schools a few years ago, they were made by a guy who ended up trying to rob one of the local banks and his bomb calls were to gauge police response/see if it would be enough of a distraction to allow him to get away with it…spoiler alert: it was not.

There’s a group on Facebook called BreakingNow where I first found this out. It’s mostly CT based but occasionally does other states. It’s where I keep updated on this.

The swatting seems to have slowed down but a good 20 schools were affected. Not sure if more are still coming in though. So far no actual shooters.

You remember the hackers that shut down the pipeline for a few weeks. Foreign organizations are also organized groups given protection under certain governments.

Not going to lie, as a Bristol resident I don't want to leave the house today - pretty sure the city's being covered by mutual aid and state troopers so the entire PD can be at the funeral. I'm not in the mood to get in a car accident or have a run-in with a crazy person when police coverage is spotty at best.

Oh, it just seems so obviously the funeral. Someone thinks it’s a cute opportunity. I always imagine it’s a teenager doing things like this but too often it ends up being some miserable adult with no sense. They will catch the people/person who did it

SO like a shooter must be PARTICULARLY happy if one of the victims happens to be a cop on duty, because then it's guaranteed to free up a ton of streets and establishments while the funeral procession is being done, thereby giving other shooters MORE freedom to shoot more cops.

Can you imagine if all the truckers organized a mass funeral work stoppage every time a truck driver got killed on the job? Happens every day, unfortunately, and is a risk of the job and often not the truck driver's fault.

This has happened across many US states and has been happening for the past few weeks. Every day it’s a new state. Yesterday was Wisconsin’s day. It’s reportedly a series of robocalls coming from abroad. Clearly designed to cause chaos and little else.

I happened to be home today. My buddy is a firefighter and called me as he was getting the all call on his radio. I’m 3 min away from my kids high school and I immediately took. Saw several other dads pulling in at the same time I was, we stayed by the entrance till the info came in fairly quickly that it was a false alarm. Police were already there. Texted with my kids and left them to enjoy the rest of the day. My son was super pumped about a pep rally and all I could think was all them kids together in the gym. So many things were going through my mind as I raced down there thank god it wasn’t real.

I'm just as pissed as most are with the ridiculous over production of the funeral processional but that's no reason to call in active shooter threats and scare innocent families.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all of these calls happened at the same time that half of the police in CT were blocking the highway with their little death parade...

Well then shame on the police for stretching themselves thin and leaving themselves unable to respond to this type of situation.

The death of an officer is tragic, but public safety is more important.

You have to put the needs of the many before the needs of a few.

My money is on a bunch of punk teenagers taking advantage of the fact that most of the cops in state were busy elsewhere.

As a former teenage delinquent, this would have been the perfect opportunity to sow chaos amongst the adults.

When I was 18, I got busted for smoking a joint in the local city park.

The cop who busted me is currently serving a 10 year sentence in federal prison for manufacturing child porn.

His name is Sam DiProto from Cromwell, if you want to verify my story.

Weed is now legal, and the cop who busted me for it back in the day is now in prison - poetic irony!!!

There was a swatter who got 20 years in prison after the innocent victim was killed by the responding police down in Wichita Kansas.

But the cop (Justin Rapp) who actually shot the innocent/unarmed victim was never punished.

i honestly can't tell if you're joking.

​

the whole point of the lawsuit was that lots of people were stalking, harassing, and threatening sandy hook victims based on his comments. he was making $50M annually w/ infowars off those same people. He has/had a huge audience of people willing to do terrible shit.

Yeah, and I'm saying no one truly gives enough of a shit about Alex Jones to call in an active shooter threat to a school to protest his verdict, let alone 18 of them.

Conservatives have a bunch of whackjob talking heads they can cycle between. Alex Jones is just one of them.

What do you expect when they want to defund the police and say constantly how disgusting they are. Good cops leave because there are so many regulations they can't do their job probably so they get a security job that pays the same and minimal risk. You are then left with the scumbags who get into the profession to bully and act likes general thugs and get a paycheck Do you blame them? I don't
