A drive-by shooting on Sunday afternoon, in Hartford, Connecticut has left a man in critical condition. Officers arrived at Oakland Terrace around 2:15 PM after there were reports of someone getting shot. 

Authorities arrived and found a man in his 20s, suffering from gunshot wounds. He was moved to an area hospital for treatment and as per officers, the man was in critical condition.

Investigating officers continue to look into the matter but believe the shots came from a passing vehicle. No details on the suspects, or the victim have been released yet. 

A few days back, in August, a man from Manchester was shot and killed outside the Lambada nightclub on Maple Avenue, in Hartford.

Authorities responded to reports and found Dominic Battle, 24, with gunshot wounds. They tried giving first aid till medics arrived but he succumbed to his wounds. Police believe there was an altercation outside the club, resulting in a gun being pulled and fired, injuring and then killing Battle. 

“There was an altercation outside. Nothing happened inside. In fact, from my understanding, the owner of the club stopped letting people in because it was getting towards capacity”, local police told an NBC-affiliated news station. 

The officer added, “We’ve had a lot of issues with clubs, with nightclubs. We’ve had homicides, shootings, fights. From what I could see last night, the club was doing what they were supposed to do. They weren’t letting people in because of the crowds. They had security working”.

A little before this, cops investigated two overnight shootings in the city as well, where one of the victims had been extremely uncooperative in providing details of where the shooting took place. 

Towards the beginning of August, Hartford police reported that 11 people had been shot in four days. While the number of injuries from gunshot wounds is alarming, cops noted that most of them were self-inflicted where the guns had gone off accidentally.
