East Lyme Cancels Boys High School Basketball Game After Threat

East Lyme has canceled another high school basketball game as federal authorities investigate an anonymous threat of violence against the town of East Lyme.

The high school boys basketball game scheduled for Tuesday evening has been canceled.

This comes after someone posted "East Lyme better get ready for the hail of bullets (sic) I've been bullied to (sic) long and after break I'm going to let all my anger out" on the social media site YikYak.

Just a day ago, the district canceled the girls basketball game as local officials take precautions to keep residents safe.

"In the world we live in, we take each and every one of these threats very seriously. We want to err on the side of caution," explained East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica said Monday when the superintendent canceled the girls game.
