Amazon closes Connecticut construction site after 8th ‘noose’ found

Amazon halted construction at a facility in Windsor, Connecticut for the second time in as many weeks on Wednesday — after an apparent noose was found in the building for the eighth time in recent weeks.

Workers found a red rope “with a noose tied at the end” entangled in yellow electrical cables on the 5th floor of the planned fulfillment center, Windsor Police Chief Donald Melanson said at a press conference. The site had just reopened on Monday, after shutting down last week when the seventh apparent noose was found. The other six were discovered by workers during the last week of April.
