NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Police say there's no danger at a Connecticut church following a phoned-in threat days after 20 children and six adults were massacred at a school.
Deborah Metz, a Trumbull police officer on the scene, gave the all-clear after an hour in which armed police in SWAT gear searched the church and adjacent buildings.
The evacuation unnerved worshippers in the wake of the worst shooting of school-age children in U.S. history.
Shooter Adam Lanza, his mother and eight of the child victims attended St. Rose of Lima. It is a Roman Catholic Church with an adjacent school, which Lanza attended briefly.
Police say the church will be on lockdown for the rest of the day.
