BURLINGTON, Conn. (AP) - State police say at least one trooper opened fire and wounded a man who was threatening to harm himself and refused orders to drop a gun in Burlington.
Trooper First Class Kelly Grant says troopers responded to a residential area at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday on a report of a man threatening to harm himself.
Grant says troopers encountered a man with a gun, and at least one trooper fired at least one round at the man after he refused to drop the weapon.
Authorities say the man was taken to a hospital with what appear to be non-life threatening injuries.
The names of the man and the trooper or troopers who shot him have not been released.
Other details weren’t immediately available.
