NEW LONDON — Emergency responders were at Garfield Avenue Apartments Wednesday, October 14, following a reported shooting, according to a CTPOLICELIVE Facebook report.

CTPOLICELIVE dates the response to approximately 12:05 p.m. on October 14. The post reports that a male gunshot victim was transported to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital and describes Garfield Avenue as closed in both directions. That is the outlet's account of the response, not independently verified current traffic or safety guidance.

The complete post contains conflicting initial and updated suspect descriptions and an accompanying scanner-audio link. Suspect descriptions, detailed injury claims and a weapon-modification allegation are withheld. The victim's identity, condition, any arrest and current public-safety conditions have not been independently verified. The supplied post does not confirm a death.
