A home invasion and armed robbery in Fairfield has prompted a shelter‑in‑place order Thursday, closing three schools and shutting down a stretch of Candlewood Road near Black Rock Turnpike, police said.

Authorities say four suspects were involved in the incident. Two were apprehended, and two remain at large.

No injuries have been reported.

Fairfield police and Connecticut State Police are blocking Candlewood Road in both directions at Tunxis Hill and Black Rock Turnpike.

McKinley School, ECC Warde and Fairfield Warde High School are closed for the day out of an abundance of caution. Staff assigned to those schools were told not to report. Custodial staff were advised to await instructions from supervisors. All other schools are operating on a typical schedule.

Drivers are being told to avoid Candlewood Road, though Black Rock Turnpike remains open.
