A substitute teacher accused of threatening to "shoot up" a seventh-grade classroom at Putnam Middle School has resigned from her position.
Andrea Husson, 46, of Putnam, was arrested earlier this month after making threats against the class. She was charged with second-degree breach of peace.
A Putnam mom told NBC Connecticut the school principal left a message on her phone following the incident April 8 and said the teacher threatened to "shoot up the classroom."
School officials declined to comment on the specific language involved, but Supt. William Hull said Husson "used inappropriate and threatening language in reprimanding a class." She was removed from the school following her arrest and has since resigned, according to Hull.
Board of Education Chairman Michael Morrill said school administrators dealt with the situation "very swiftly."
Husson was released on a $1,500 non-surety bond after the arrest. She is due back in court on April 29.
