School district employee is forced to resign from her job after she was filmed yelling racist words and spitting on two black customers in a supermarket

A woman has been forced to resign from her job at a public school district after she was filmed yelling racial slurs and spitting on two African Americans at a grocery store in Connecticut.


Corinne Terrone of New Haven, who worked as a clerk in the district’s central office, is no longer an employee of the Hamden Public Schools, according to a statement from the school district which was released on Saturday.

The resignation was officially announced a day after an offensive video of Corrine Terrone went viral on Facebook.
In the video filmed at a ShopRite location in East Haven, Terrone is heard yelling the n-word three times after which she spits at an African American man and woman twice.

After Terrone first utters the racial slur, the man looks as if he steps toward her, prompting her to respond: "Put your hands on me, come on!"
After the video went viral, people who know Terrone were left shocked by it. Terrone’s next-door neighbor, a black man, told the New Haven Register that he was surprised to see her in the video. The neighbor said that his grandchildren often play with her children and that he had never witnessed any racist behavior from her in the past.
Terrone has been an "excellent" neighbor, the man said. They have been living next to each other for eight years.
"She’s always been the sweetest woman in the world," the man said.

Police were seen at Terrone’s home on Saturday, but there was nobody inside. Authorities say no criminal complaint has been filed.
Reacting to the video, Hamden School District released a statement saying:

We have become aware of video footage that appears to show an employee in our district engaged in abhorrent conduct.
Specifically, the video appears to show the employee repeatedly calling an African-American man the N-word in a supermarket in East Haven.
The video also appears to show the Hamden employee spitting at the aforementioned African-American male as he was walking away from the employee.
It also appears that the employee’s children witnessed her conduct.
Because her children were present, school administrators filed a DCF report.

‘DCF’ stands for Department of Children and Families. A DCF report is filed whenever there is reason to suspect child abuse.
