NEW BRITAIN -- A shooting in New Britain Tuesday night has left one person dead and police trying to piece together what exactly happened.
Police said one person was shot around 9 p.m., where he later died at the hospital.
"On scene officers located an adult male near the front door of that address (396 Park Street) suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. The victim, whose identity is not being disclosed at this time, was transported to area trauma center where he was pronounced dead," said police.
According to police, a party was taking place when the shooting occurred over a possible domestic dispute. Police are questioning a possible suspect, who is said to be from out-of-town but is not cooperating.
"We haven't made an arrest so we are not identifying a suspect but indications are that the majority of the folks that we are interviewing are from Hartford," said New Britain Police Captain Thomas Steck.
Police said an investigation determined that the victim stepped outside to a vehicle parked in the lot and was shot while walking back toward the house. This incident does not appear to be a random incident, said police.
