Details Released On New London Officer-Involved Shooting Investigation

NEW LONDON, CT — The Office of the Inspector General has released an update on the investigation into an officer-involved shooting in New London over the weekend.

The incident started when police responded to a report of a shooting at the America Best Value Inn on Bayonet Street in New London at 1:52 p.m.

Police arrived at the hotel and spoke to a witness who said that Christopher Nolan, 42, came into the room and fired a round out of the room's window at an unidentified person, according to the Office of the Inspector General's report.

Police learned that Nolan had fled to the adjacent Clarion Inn Hotel. Police searched that hotel looking for Nolan and found him in room 221.

A person in the room allowed police inside. Nolan pressed himself against the window "in an apparent effort to escape so as to elude arrest," according to the report.

Police saw what they believed to be a gun in Nolan’s hand and when he turned toward them, Officer Joseph Nott, Officer Annie Agnew, and Officer Seth Bolduc fired their weapons, the report stated.

Nolan sustained multiple gunshot wounds. New London officers immediately rendered medical aid to him.

Police recovered a revolver from the windowsill where Nolan had been standing.

Emergency medical services transported Nolan to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment. He was later transferred to Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven.

The investigation is continuing.
