On September 28 and 29, sightings were reported in Brentwood and North Babylon on Long Island.[212] The North Babylon School District went on "lockout" the following day, and the Lindenhurst School District employed precautions.[212] A "lockout" means that nobody is allowed to enter or leave during class hours.[213] A Twitter account called "Suffolk Clowns" (@LIClowns) emerged, making (possibly joking) threats to numerous school districts and posting pictures of clowns. However, the account has since been suspended.
