NEWTOWN, Conn. — More than a dozen people, including children, have been killed in a shooting in a southwestern Connecticut elementary school on Friday, according to federal and state officials.

Many of the shots were fired in a kindergarten classroom, according to the Hartford Courant.

The shooting was reported at 9:40 a.m. at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, a small town off Interstate 84 in western Connecticut.

Police said one gunman is dead, but it was not clear if he was killed by police or self-inflicted wounds.
Sources told CNN that the gunman had two weapons in his possession. Reports of a second gunman have not been confirmed.
Police reported that a gunman was in the main office of the school, and a person in one room had “numerous gunshot wounds,” according to the Courant.
A dispatcher at the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps told the Associated Press that a teacher was shot in the foot and taken to Danbury Hospital. Two other victims were also taken to Danbury Hospital.
The Courant said groups of crying students were seen being escorted away from the school by teachers.
At 11:15 a.m. ABC News reported that the school had been cleared, but the area was still being treated as an active shooting scene.
The school superintendent's office said the district locked down schools and cancelled afternoon classes to ensure the safety of students and staff.
