One man is dead and another hospitalized after a shooting incident as a party broke up early Sunday morning on Central Avenue.
One of the men who was shot apparently tried to drive away before crashing his car into an abandoned house on North Street. The car fell into the cellar, and the victim was rescued from the car by firefighters who then discovered that he’d been shot. The victim, who was in his 30s, died a short time later at Strong Memorial Hospital.
At about the same time, police on patrol heard gunshots coming from Central Avenue. A 30-year-old man was then dropped off at Strong by friends, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken into surgery with serious injuries. He’s expected to recover.
Police believe both men were shot in the same incident, as a party held in a warehouse on Central Avenue was breaking up.
