A false alarm about an intruder prompted a lockdown at Naugatuck High School this morning as police and school officials were actually getting ready to hold an intruder drill.
Police said the intruder drill was schedule to start at 10:40 a.m., but an alarm went off at 10:15 a.m. about an intruder in the child care unit of the high school, which was not part of the drill, police said.
Naugatuck High School was placed into lockdown and the school was evacuated as a precaution while police investigated until they determined the intruder entry was a false alarm.
The lockdown was lifted at around 10:55 a.m. All students have returned to the high school and the planned drill event was cancelled.
