#Norwalk CT–On September 4, 2018 at 8:20am, the School Resource Officer (SRO) assigned to Norwalk High School was contacted by school security regarding a threats complaint that security and the school administration had just been made aware of. The SRO learned that on August 30, 2018, a school cafeteria worker had a conversation with a co-worker named Leslie Delaney. During this conversation, Delaney stated that if the co-worker saw him in his army fatigues, the co-worker should leave because he will have an AK-47 and that he could come to finish everything and then “off” himself. Additional officers responded to Norwalk High School and contacted Delaney, who was in the cafeteria. Delaney was escorted outside the building and interviewed. During this interview, he admitted to making those comments and suggested they were a joke. Based on additional information obtained during the investigation, Delaney was transported by ambulance to the Norwalk Hospital for an evaluation. Officers received consent to search Delaney’s vehicle, which was parked at Norwalk High School. While searching the vehicle officers located a .22 caliber Mossberg rifle in the trunk. The rifle was not loaded and there was no ammunition in the vehicle. Delaney was arrested and transported to the Norwalk Police Department where he was charged. Officers also executed a search warrant at Delaney’s residence, however, no weapons or ammunition were located. Based on the investigation, it was determined that there was no immediate threat to students or staff. However additional School Resource Officers will be at Norwalk High School tomorrow to provide an added sense of security.
