Governor Takes A Shot At Gun Group

HARTFORD, CT – Governor Dannel P. Malloy’s Director of Communications Kelly Donnelly today released the following statement in reaction to comments made today by Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL) President Scott Wilson, who is advocating to increase guns in schools:

“Comments made today by CCDL leadership are a new level of disgusting, even for the gun lobby.  Claiming that gun free zones are the cause of mass shootings is the height of lunacy.  It is an insult to compassionate people everywhere, and to the victims of gun violence.  Their purposeful distortion of reality and their readiness to ignore voices of educators – the very professionals they are trying to arm – is shameful and unhelpful.  Rather than continuing to oppose commonsense gun safety measures that passed with Democratic and Republican support in the aftermath of the tragedy in Sandy Hook, the CCDL should instead have the courage to stand up to the almighty NRA – they should lend their support to keeping our children safer with real school safety and gun violence prevention measures that work.

“All this from a group that today put a bump stock on display in the halls of the legislature for no other rational purpose than to lobby against bills that would ban these deadly devices.”

Trumbull News: Student Arrested For threats Against School

#Trumbull CT– On March 14, 2018, a juvenile was arrested by Trumbull Police after the student made an online threat of a shooting with the intended target being Trumbull High School. Trumbull Police was notified of the incident when concerned students and staff members approached a school resource officer with evidence of the threat on a social media site. The student had posted the threat to “shoot up” the high school along with other remarks about the school. Police and school officials took immediate action and detained the student, a 16-year-old female. Upon further investigation, a photo of the student was also linked to the threat, which showed the student holding what appeared to be a handgun. Police then located a replica gun in the student’s home and determined it was the one from the posting but it was not a functioning firearm. The student was charged with Threatening and Breach of Peace and was referred to juvenile court. The student was released to parents and there is an ongoing investigation to determine if others were involved.
