Guns Seized After Shots Fired — Again — In Manchester Lot

MANCHESTER, CT — State police have arrested two men after receiving a report about shots being fired at the same commuter where two people were shot a week earlier.

The latest incident took place at the state commuter lot in the Buckland Hills retail district at about 2:45 a.m. State police said a witness told authorities that someone was shooting a rifle near the back of the commuter lot.

State and Manchester police responded to the scene, formed a perimeter around the lot and secured the area, according to a report. Loaded firearms were seized, according to a report.

The two arrested were 24-year-old Manuel Polanco, of Massachusetts; and 26-year-old Jesus Omar Rivera-Gonzalez, of East Hartford. Both were charged with failure to comply with commuter parking regulations, illegal possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle, carrying a dangerous weapon and breach of peace.

They are due in court on Sept. 1 after posting $10,000 bonds, state police said.

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident can call the State Police Troop H barracks at 860-534-1000.

The two shot at the commuter lot last week eventually died and state police are in the midst of a homicide investigation.
