Channel 3 reporter says local newspaper [Newtown Bee] says there are 'several' injuries.
Newtown Bee is reporting that a police officer carried one child, apparently seriously wounded, from the school.
Newtownbee.com:
State and Newtown police, ambulance, and emergency response personnel responded to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shortly after 9:30 am, Friday, following reports of a shooting. One child was carried from the school by a police officer, apparently seriously wounded. Other injuries are reported, and emergency personnel have set up triage facilities.
The other children in the school exited school under state police protection.
All of Newtown's schools are in lockdown, and the private schools in town have been notified of the alleged shooting.
Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson said the schools were placed on lockdown Friday morning, "until we hear what is going on there."
Dr Robinson said it is best if parents do not try to call the district at this time, and the school district will release a message once further information is known.
The district has cancelled afternoon kidergarten in the district, and there will be no mid-day bus runs.
Per Channel 3 reporter, children were told to close their eyes as they passed by school office during their exit.

NBC-CT reports that the school principal is confirmed dead. Per one student, he/she saw some other students injured (shot?). Police are acting as if they are still looking for an active shooter.
Schools in Monroe (adjoining town/city) are on lockdown because of this incident.
One person — the shooter — is dead, per WNBC.

NBC-CT reports that 3 have been taken to area hospitals. No additional information on severity of their wounds or ages (students? teachers?).
Prinicpal may have been the target.

No. Apparently, the principal (female) was targeted.
Newsies don't seem to be on the same page. Some are saying 'the shooter is dead' and others are saying 'the principal was killed.' Then they say only one person has been killed.

Lived in CT for a number of years, just a few miles from the Newtown area. Newtown is family oriented and a great place to raise kids, tragic when an incident like this happens in your community ... it takes a long time to recover.

NBC-CT interviewed one student earlier. The female student said she heard 7 ‘booms’ before the gym teacher had students huddle in the corner. Student said she heard additional ‘booms’ but didn’t not say how many, while they were huddling.

Gabby, you need to block her. It’s the only thing they understand. I’ve blocked and deleted dozens of people, family included, on FB. It’s all they deserve.

It is time to eliminate the ban on weapons at schools, and openly allow trained CCW folks to carry while dropping off and picking up their kids.
I am so damn sick of this!

As long as she doesn’t post any anti gun crap on my page - I don’t care what she posts on her own page.
