Residents of a typically tranquil South Windsor neighborhood were shaken Tuesday evening after a brazen shooting incident that saw a masked gunman open fire on a local home.
Windsor Police Service officials confirmed that multiple shots were fired at a residence near the intersection of Hall Avenue and Imperial Drive around 7:30 p.m. The suspect, described as wearing dark clothing and a face covering, fled the scene before officers arrived.
Police Launch Intensive Investigation
Forensic teams spent hours collecting evidence at the scene, including multiple shell casings. Detective Superintendent Mark Andrews stated, "This appears to be a targeted incident, but we're treating it with the utmost seriousness given the potential for collateral damage in a residential area."
Police have increased patrols in the South Windsor neighborhood as the investigation continues. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward, particularly residents who may have security camera footage from the area.
Community Reaction and Safety Concerns
Neighbors expressed shock and concern following the violent incident. "We've always felt safe here," said one resident who asked not to be identified. "To have something like this happen so close to home is terrifying."
Local community leaders are calling for increased police presence and community vigilance while the suspect remains at large. The incident has sparked conversations about public safety in what many considered one of Windsor's more peaceful districts.
Investigators are following multiple leads and encourage anyone with information to contact Windsor Police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
