Connecticut State Police said its officers were at the scene with local police but provided no additional details. The emergency call to police occurred at 9:41 a.m., state police said. An individual answering the phone at the Newtown Police Department declined to comment. Newtown is in northern Fairfield County, about 45 miles southwest of Hartford and 80 miles northeast of New York City.
