Front Door Of Home 'Shattered' By Gunfire In Manchester

MANCHESTER, CT — What first seemed like fireworks near a Manchester home early Thursday morning turned out to be a front door wrecked by bullets, police said.

Police said a resident of Clinton Street initially reported hearing fireworks near her house just after midnight, but after checking the front part of the dwelling, the resident discovered the front door had been "shattered," police said. Responding officers then located multiple bullet casings in the road in front of the residence.

Both the door and the house itself had been struck by gunfire, police said.

Detectives from the Investigative Services Unit responded to process the scene and collect evidence and it is believed the shots were fired from a vehicle, police said.

No injuries were sustained as a result of the shooting and investigators are continuing to follow leads in the case, police said.

Anyone with any information on the incident can contact Detective Joseph Davis at 860-643-3357, police said.
