Hamden High School in Connecticut was placed under lockdown this morning, according to local affiliate News 8. Reports indicate that a school administrator was walking down the hallway, when a student came running at her with his fist raised in the air. Fearing for her safety the administrator alerted her colleagues and the principal placed the school under lockdown. Principal Nadine Ganon told Hamden police that she had put the school on lockdown, and warned that the student responsible was still inside of the high school.
Upon further investigation, police determined the student was “making basketball type moves.” According to police the student was not going to hit the administrator, he was actually just “making believe that he was dunking a basketball.”
Dunk Cam was a very popular sports vine a few years ago. It appears this particular student at Hamden was trying to revive the popular practice. Kids, don’t try this at school. We live in a time where things you think might be innocent can be construed as something else. Glad this didn’t escalate into something more.
Take a look at a Dunk Cam video below.
