A juvenile is in custody, Westport police said this afternoon, after threats were directed at a teacher, and the entire Staples High School population.
Staples officials called police at 9 a.m. this morning, after the student was overheard stating he had “thoughts” of a mass shooting.
Police said they have found firearms belonging to the student’s father, and locked in a safe. More may be located.
Westport schools are expected to open on time Wednesday.
