A church
in Newtown, Conn. has been evacuated after reports of a bomb threat, according to
the Associated Press.
The evacuation occurred
during noon mass Sunday, just two
days after the town experienced a massacrethat left 8 adults and 20 young children dead.
NEWTOWN, Conn. -- Worshippers
hurriedly left a church Sunday, saying they were told there was a bomb threat
not far from the elementary school where 20 kids and six adults were massacred.
At least a dozen police in
camouflage SWAT gear and carrying guns arrived at the St. Rose of Lima Church.
An Associated Press photographer saw police leave carrying something in a red
tarp.
There was no official report
from police about the threat or evacuation.
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.
It's not clear if there
actually was a threat or if, like many tragedies, whether it was a hoax or the
result of a community on edge.
The church hosted overflow
crowds at all three morning masses Sunday
