State police responded to the Golden Hill Courthouse in Bridgeport this morning following a possible bomb threat, Bridgeport's Office of Emergency Management & Homeland Security Director Scott Appleby says.

Appleby said state police were handling the incident.

State Police Sgt. Christine Jeltema says the state bomb squad conducted a thorough sweep of the building and the courthouse was expected to resume business.
