12:55pm–#West Haven CT #Fairfield CT–University of New Haven is on lockdown after a man was seen with a long gun near Shop Rite headed towards campus. Fairfield Police are investigating a student in town as requested by West Haven.
5:20pm–A Chinese Nationalist who just graduated from a local university with a degree in electrical engineering, out on a extended student visa gave authorities in Bridgeport a bit of a scare. I have not heard back from Bridgeport Police’s spokesperson, but radio controlled flyers and other sources have reached out to us and helped piece this story together. Apparently the graduate was flying his radio controlled airplane at Seaside Park near the soccer field. The plane had a video camera mounted on it. The plane malfunctioned and lost communication to the controller. The plane is also a glider so when it lost communication with the controller it continued gliding, landing near the power plant property. The student then drove to the power plant to see if he could retrieve his plane. The plant workers followed protocol and called police. The radio report to officers said there was a person with remote controlled airplane recording the power plant.
When I arrived on scene police officers with a supervisor on scene were trying to piece together what was happening. Their protocol in this situation with a power plant is to call the federal government’s Homeland Security division. We confirmed that Homeland Security called the FBI to the scene to investigate. The FBI reviewed the students laptop and confirmed his story that he flew the plane at Seaside Park and never flew over the power plant.
12:02am–#Bridgeport CT–There is a very disturbing video on Facebook of a very small child being sexually assaulted by an adult. This video has triggered a large number of calls to police departments in the area. Bridgeport and Stratford Police received many calls. Police said that unless the caller can identify the person, child or area where the video is originating there is nothing they can do other than report it to the FBI. There is no way of identifying if it happened in Connecticut. A viewer told us that her mother called Stratford Police and said they have the link and an investigator is investigating. Police said not to forward the video but to immediately report it to Facebook. Last summer Facebook faced an onslaught of disturbing photo images , but no video that we are aware of. When we first asked our viewers if they knew anything about this we quickly received many comments and shares. There were many angry and emotional comments as could be expected.
Again, if you know any of the people in the video or can identify the surroundings call the police immediately. Otherwise please report it to Facebook and do NOT forward it.
