Hamden High School was closed Friday, Monday, and Tuesday after threats received last week. Students at the high school returned to class Wednesday, waiting in long lines to get into the building after school officials decided to use metal-detecting wands to screen everyone coming into the school.
Hamden is one of several communities that has dealt with a string of school threats in recent days.
