According to the Danbury Police Department's FB page, those texts sent to various Danbury High students suggested they should not attend school the following day because they would be targeted to be shot.

Danbury Police Department's General Investigations Division began an investigation in conjunction with the Danbury High School Resource Officers and the Danbury High School Administration.
