I forwarded this information to the administrators there. If it's real, perhaps they can help. If it's a prank, hopefully they can deal with that, too.

Yes it was the real thing and after I asked if anybody had contacted the local police Stevertigo then called the Cheshire PD about it.

In the future we should act on this even faster than we did (it was nearly 3 hours before the cops were called). It is up the cops, not us, to determine whether or not stuff like this is a prank and take the appropriate action (even if it is just to give a warning to a prankster).

Thank you, Cheshire PD alerted us and we took immediate action. The Student is in Yale-New Haven Hospital for assessment/observation. Thank you for your assistance.
