Standoff Reported in Wallingford

Cook Hill Elementary School was put in lockdown for about 20 minutes due to an incident in the neighborhood, a school official said.

The Record-Journal newspaper is reporting that an "emotionally disturbed" man is in custody following a standoff on Schoolhouse Road. No one was injured, the newspaper reported.

The Wallingford Police Department said a full news release will be coming soon.

Cook Hill Elementary School was briefly put in lockdown Friday from 12:40 p.m. to about 1 p.m. as a precaution because of the incident, Cook Hill Principal Carol Mikulski told Patch.

"Everything went smoothly and we were never in imminent danger," Mikulski said. "After about 20 minutes we got a call that the incident was over."

And I don't suppose the low rate of male participation in the labor market (a bit of info I missedRead More somehow) has anything to do with a RISE in female participation? You aren't suggesting that women just stay home and out of the jobs that somehow "belong" to men, are you?

Touchy, touchy! All I asked was how MAC compared the two apparent misstatements. My guess was thatRead More the obvious disrespect that was shown by the way he refers to the President was a hint that he was a biased commentator. His defenders have called me a lib, but most folks who know me wouldn't call me that at all. I was hoping for some "fair and balanced" discussion here, but the name-callers have arrived. I ask MAC to provided some reference to support his latest pronouncement that the President "wants to destroy our economy." There are a lot of commentators who would disagree with your assessment of the economy anyway, but when did the President say he "wants to destroy our economy?"

We now have a president who wants to destroy our economy and most all of what made America theRead More (formerly?) greatest and most FREE nation in the world! He has done a fair job of accomplishing that destruction, has he not? The male labor participation rate is now the lowest since WWII, and energy costs have "necessarily skyrocketed" as he demanded!! Then we have "Common Core" and the like for the nation's schools, under which the regime denies the Constitution and instead teaches "social justice" and that America is responsible for the poverty in other nations!
