Police are at Maple Hill School in Naugatuck Wednesday after reports of someone hunting in the area, but said students are not in danger.
At 12:12 p.m., officers responded to reports of gunshots in the Longview Terrace area, near water company property, after a resident who lives nearby reported that someone wearing camouflage was hunting.
Because of the close proximity to Maple Hill School, police contacted the school, which was placed in lockdown for around an hour as a precaution.
Police said the area of the water company property is not a legal hunting area.
After searching the area, police had no contact with the person described and determined that students of Maple Hill School were not in danger.
The lockdown was lifted around 1:15 p.m., but police will remain at school for the rest of the school day and will continue investigating.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Naugatuck Police Department at 203-729-5221 or the NPD Confidential Tip Line at 203-720-1010.
