All schools in Newtown are in lockdown after a reported shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
The school is located at 12 Dickinson Drive. There is no confirmed information from police about who or how many people have been shot.
Newtown emergency officials are telling parents to stay by their phone, not to go to the school.
A photo taken by the Newtown Bee newspaper shows children being led from the school. The paper reported one child was carried from the school by a police officer, but police have not confirmed any injuries.
A witness told News 8 she saw two children, one had a bloody face, the other with a hand injury.
Police were staging at a nearby fire station.
State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance would not confirm what is happening, but he told News 8 that several troopers are responding to the school at the request of Newtown police.
A message posted on the school’s website made no mention of the shooting, but said “Afternoon kindergarten is cancelled today, December 14th. There will be no mid-day bus runs.”
