HARTFORD — Police said a man was shot in the stomach after being pulled out of his car and robbed Wednesday night.
The 39-year-old Hartford man drove home and called police who said he is being treated at Hartford Hospital for wounds that are not believed to be life-threatening.
The shooting happened at about 11:30 p.m., according to police, when the man was driving at Brookfield and Saybrooke streets. He told police that a dark sedan pulled in front of him and two Hispanic men got out, pulled him out of the car, pointed a gun at him and demanded money.
