Police in Connecticut responded Friday to a possible shooting at an elementary school and all schools in the area were locked down, NBC television reported.
The report said police had deployed to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut, northeast of New York City. Officials could not be reached for immediate confirmation.
On the Newtown Public School District website, however, an alert was posted warning that “afternoon kindergarten is cancelled today” and that there would be no lunch-hour bus runs.
