“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law and/or enforcement agency for assistance”.

Monday’s incident at Wilton’s Middlebrook School involving an ‘object’ found on the school’s athletic fields turned out to be something potentially more serious than nearby coyote sightings during the past year. Wilton Police Lt. Anna Tornello confirmed that the item spotted by a staff member was a “real artifact” and not a facsimile of a grenade, although it was hollow and inert. Tornello also confirmed that students were present when the grenade was spotted in batting cages located on school property. At the time the object was found, the gym class was walking by the area to go to the fields, so students were present when it was found,” she wrote in an email. Wilton’s Parks and Recreation Department oversees the batting cages at the athletic fields at Middlebrook. GOOD Morning Wilton has reached out to Parks & Rec staff about who may have had access to the batting cage before Monday. School officials and the Wilton Police Department both released statements Monday afternoon that said a staff member found the item and notified Middlebrook administrators a few minutes after 1 p.m. on Monday, June 3.
