Naugatuck police responded to the high school at 11 a.m. on that Thursday after the school received call with a bomb threat. There was no indication then of where the call came from and the school was placed into “Code Yellow,” forcing students to remain in place for several hours until Naugatuck police and the Connecticut State Police bomb squad determined that there was nothing dangerous in the building.
