State police in Newtown were aware of the situation, and said local police were handling it. "I'm aware of that situation in the town of Ridgefield. ... There's a report of a suspicious person, a suspicious person that may or may not be armed," Lieutenant Paul Vance of Connecticut State Police told a news conference. In Redding, about 10 miles (16km) from Newtown, police gave no indication of whether there was a threat.

| Houllier doubts second Thierry Henry Arsenal loan spell Posted: 17 Dec 2012 07:48 AM PST NEW YORK, Dec 17 – New York Red Bulls head of global soccer Gerard Houllier said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had not yet contacted him over a loan return for striker Thierry Henry. Henry has been photographed at Arsenal's matches this season sparking speculation he could return to the Emirates, as he did in January 2012, to keep himself fit during Major League Soccer's off-season. Used by Wenger as an impact player from the bench, Henry netted late winners against Leeds United in the FA Cup and Sunderland in the Premier League. "For now, we have not had any formal request from Arsene Wenger to loan Thierry Henry," Houllier told Canal Plus in France. "I am not sure both parties want to have this second comeback. I think Thierry needs rest. He is about to become a father and I think he will want to enjoy the break." Wenger himself has been reluctant to comment on the possibility of Henry's return and said last week there was nothing to report. – Reuters |
