Police Believe Prank Call Led To Daylong Lockdown At Yale
NEW HAVEN — Yale University
was locked down and a massive response by heavily armed police caused
traffic problems throughout the city Monday after an anonymous call from
a phone booth warned of an armed man stalking the campus.
A report a short time later of a man on campus carrying a rifle added credence to the initial call, although police and Yale officials said later that the man with a rifle spotted by a Yale employee was probably one of the first responding police officers.
Police said Monday evening they now suspect the call may have been a prank and are trying to track down the man who made the call.
