HARTFORD, Connecticut — A shooting in Hartford left one man dead and three people, including a 17-year-old girl, in critical condition on Saturday afternoon.
Hartford Police Lt. Aaron Boisvert said 9-1-1 calls came in at 3:36 p.m. to 541 maple ave reporting a 17-year-old girl suffering from gunshot wounds. When officers responded they came across a motor vehicle crash at Maple Ave and Benton Street with a male driver suffering from a gunshot wound. The girl was taken to Connecticut Children's in critical condition and the man was taken to Hartford Hospital in critical condition.
Additional 9-1-1 calls came in with two more victims dropped off in the area of 165 Wethersfield Ave. Both were taken to Hartford Hospital. One male victim is dead and another victim is in critical condition.
Boisvert said at this point in the investigation, it is believed that the entire incident occurred inside the apartment at 541 Maple Avenue. It is believed that gunfire was exchanged between mutual combatants and that this was not a random act.
Boisvert calls this a targeted incident and they will be on Maple Ave. for a while tonight as they are getting a search warrant for the property. There were others in the property when the shooting occurred but no others were hurt.
