Newtown Church Evacuated

Source: NBC

St. Rose of Lima Church in Newtown has been evacuated. State police have responded to the church, according to NBC reporter Audrey Washington.

A noon mass was being held at the Roman Catholic Church at 46 Church Hill Road.

Witnesses at the mass said police entered the church and told parishioners that a threat had been made against the church and the surrounding area and that everyone had to leave immediately.

More than a dozen State Troopers armed with assault rifles entered a home next to the church, according to Washington.

Parishioners and news media were told to leave the church property.

I suspect this probably was a hoax but someone who thought it would be 'funny' to pull a 'prank' like this.

Apparently a false alarm.

The state police lieutenant reported earlier this morning that they were investigated bogus stories being planted with the media-- seems there are some sick folks wanting attention, so sadly we may see more of this.
