​Police: Conn. teens dressed as Columbine shooters and made threats

LITCHFIELD, Conn. -- Two Connecticut teenagers are accused of dressing up on Halloween to resemble the Columbine High School killers and threatening to harm students at their school.

State police say the two Litchfield High School students were charged Wednesday with inciting injury to persons and breach of peace and taken to a juvenile detention center. Their names weren't released because of their ages.

The two sophomores dressed up on Halloween in black trench coats and sunglasses like those worn by the two students who killed 12 fellow students, a teacher and themselves at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999. They also threatened possible violence Monday at the school, officials said.

Officials said the students were suspended and weren't in school this week.
