Norwalk Police Charge Two Minors After School Shooting and Bomb Threat Hoax

During the early morning hours of Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the Norwalk Police Department Special Victims Unit received information regarding a Snapchat post that referenced a potential school shooting and bombing. The investigators traced the post to a home in Norwalk. Officers arrived at the location and identified a 14-year-old as the individual responsible for the post. Further investigations by patrol officers and Special Victims Unit investigators revealed that another Norwalk youth, aged 13, was also involved in sharing or creating the post. Through interviews with both minors and their parents, it was concluded that the post was not credible and was related to an online gaming platform the youths were engaged with and was meant as a hoax. Both juveniles were charged with Breach of Peace and summoned to juvenile court.

The investigators quickly determined that this threatening post was a hoax, and no Norwalk Public School was ever targeted. In partnership with the Norwalk Public Schools, we want to reassure everyone that we are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of our students and staff in schools.

We are asking the community to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Norwalk Police Department. Malicious posts intended to bring public alarm and fear will be fully investigated, and enforcement will be taken. We need everyone’s cooperation when reposting or sharing information on social media. While well-intentioned, continued sharing of these messages can lead to unnecessary fear and concern, increasing stress across the community.

Bridgeport Schools Return After Threats

Many viewers reached out to us with concerns about the Bridgeport Schools returning to class so I called former Fairfield Lieutenant, Jim Perez to explain what is happening. Perez created the public safety protocols in Fairfield right after the shooting atSandy Hook. Although this isn’t Fairfield, the policies remain the same, the safety of students and faculty.

A Vietnam War Memorial will travel through Westport, Bridgeport & Fairfield on Sept 24.

You are invited to welcome The Wall as a trailer carrying THE WALL THAT HEALS AND MOBILE EDUCATION CENTER will leave Sherwood Island in Westport at noon and proceed north on Route 1 to Fairfield making a brief stop at the intersection of Post Road and S. Benson Road at 12:15 p.m. on TUES SEPT 24. A Fairfield Fire Department truck will stop traffic in the intersection, where a soloist will sing the national anthem. The parade will then proceed to Bridgeport via Route 1, Fairfield Ave. & Park Ave., and onto Veterans Memorial Park where The Wall will be assembled for a four day stop. 

The traveling three-fourths sized replica of the Washington DC Vietnam War monument will travel with a motorcycle escort along Police, Fire, and other First Responders.

The Wall That Heals has been displayed in nearly 700 communities throughout the nation, spreading the Memorial’s healing legacy to millions. Bringing The Wall home to communities throughout our country allows the souls enshrined on the Memorial to exist once more among family and friends in the peace and comfort of familiar surroundings.

The traveling exhibit provides thousands of veterans who have been unable to cope with the prospect of facing The Wall to find the strength and courage to do so within their own communities, thus allowing the healing process to begin. The main components of The Wall That Heals are The Wall replica and the mobile Education Center.
