Nearby dispatchers continued warning of more gunmen and flooded the area with local ambulances.

9:55:25 A.M.: “Be advised, we have multiple weapons. One rifle and a shotgun.”

9:57:25 A.M.: “Any plainclothes responding, make sure you have your raid gear on, your raid gear on.”

10:00:15 A.M.: “Ask the custodian, get a team up on the roof and clear the roof.”

10:00:40 A.M.: “We need [inaudible] up here right away. Call Danbury if you have to.”

The Newtown Police Department’s emergency operations center was quickly transformed from an emergency response center into an investigative operations center.

“Call for everything.”

“Do you know if anyone brought a mass casualty kit?”
