NEWTOWN
St. Rose of Lima Church has been evacuated, and armed police officers have swarmed around the area.
Newtown Police did not have any information to release, but they were on the scene. State Police were also responding.
A noon mass at the church, at 46 Church Hill Road, was underway. Parishioners were seen exiting the church.
The church was the site of a vigil Friday night for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.
Check back for updates.
