NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- Connecticut State Police say they are assisting local police in Newtown in response to reports of a shooting at an elementary school. The AP has reported the shooter is dead.

A dispatcher at the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps says a teacher has been shot in the foot and taken to Danbury Hospital, but it's unclear if that's the only injury.
