Police have Main Street blocked off with caution tape for the second time this week. This time officers have firearms drawn. A Nantucket Police officer just said they may be dealing with someone who is armed and dangerous. “We were at Club Car having dinner and the police told everyone to leave as there is another bomb threat for Main Street,” one witness told the Current. The Gaslight was also ordered closed by public safety author totes. On Tuesday, a bomb threat incident on lower Main Street similarly prompted a heavy law enforcement response to the area, where officers blocked off streets, closed businesses, and prevented pedestrians from walking on the sidewalks. When we know more we will update this post.

Good morning from Nantucket Harbor Johnny Nichols & Hunter Rifkin were fishing this morning when they spotted a pair of deer swimming. Deer are strong swimmers and it’s not unusual to see them out traversing the harbor, and sometimes even offshore - but still a sight to behold!

Passengers aboard a Cape Air plane flying from Nantucket to Boston early Monday morning had an interesting flight when one of the aircraft’s windows popped open in the skies over Nantucket Sound. “The pilot was amazing and made everyone feel calm,” said island resident Lizbet Fuller, who was on the flight yesterday, the first leg of her trip to Virginia. “It was a bit nerve-wracking even though I’m smiling.” The Cape Air pilot returned to Nantucket and passengers boarded a different aircraft to complete the trip to Boston. The Current reached out to Cape Air about the incident Monday morning but we have not heard back from the airline. The aircraft appears to be one of Cape Air’s nine-seater Cessna 402s. We will update the post with any information they share. “Nothing like a little surprise wake up early in the morning!” Fuller added.
