Manchester schools locked down over false reports of rifles; airsoft gun found, arrest made.

Manchester public schools entered lockdown after reports of a person with a rifle near Verplanck Elementary School. Police found an airsoft rifle and made an arrest without incident. A second call about Waddell Elementary led to a district-wide lockdown, but it was clarified to be about Verplanck. Increased police presence remained throughout the day. Schools in Granby were also locked down on suspicion of an armed student but were lifted when no weapon was found. Counseling is available for affected students and staff.
