Schools in Ridgefield, Conn., have been placed on lockdown after reports of a suspicious person carrying a rifle near the town’s train station. A driver on Route 7 reportedly warned police about the rifle-holding man. Students who had already arrived at the town’s Branchville Elementary School were taken to a safer area, and school buses en route have been diverted to the town’s East Ridge Middle School as a precautionary measure. Ridgefield is roughly 20 miles from Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at an elementary school Friday.
