CT state senator says family safe after bomb threat called in to his home
Authorities are investigating a bomb threat made Wednesday toward the Brookfield home of state Sen. Stephen Harding.
The Republican senator issued a statement late Wednesday saying he and his family were safe.
'Thank you to our state and local police for their work in responding to this threat,' Harding said. 'We are safe. And we are grateful to law enforcement for their professionalism and dedication.'
The agencies that investigated the threat included the Brookfield Police Department, Connecticut State Police and Connecticut State Capitol Police.
'Their action and attention to this matter has been extremely reassuring in a difficult time,' Harding said.
Harding called the incident a 'distraction' but said it will not stop him and other Connecticut Republicans from focusing on 'the issues that matter to Connecticut's working families,' which he described as 'affordability, safety, accountability' and 'transparency.'
Brookfield police did not immediately respond to a request for more information about the investigation into the threat.
