EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — East Hartford police said they are investigating an overnight shooting.
According to police, the shooting happened in the parking lot of the American Eagle Financial Center at East River Drive and Riverview Square.
Police said there were three people taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. According to police, one of the victims has already been released. A car with bullet holes was seen being towed from the scene Monday morning.
There was reportedly a large gathering in the parking lot prior to the shooting.
“So many beer bottles, alcohol, it is unbelievable, it is OK to come down to the park sit down and have a drink and socialize, but this is a mess,” says Richard Bowen of East Hartford.
Bowen is a minister who prays every day in a park nearby and says a similar unruly gathering happened in the same spot Saturday.
"Saturday it was a festival the devils and demons because it was throwing bottles it was having fun. This is not right, this is not right at all," Bowen said.
East Hartford police have not released any suspect information at this time.
This is a developing story.
