The Yeshiva K’tana of Waterbury CT was placed under lockdown on Sunday morning – under orders of the Waterbury Police Department. The circumstances are still unclear, but apparently the police were in pursuit of a dangerous man armed with a gun in the area of the Yeshiva.

Police quickly alerted the Yeshiva K’tana to keep the building secured, and not allow anyone to either enter – or exit the building.

Waterbury Police, along with K9 from the Connecticut State Police responded in force to the area – and after 30 tense minutes safely apprehended the perp in a nearby basement.
