EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — A pair of suspects were pronounced dead early Thursday following a shooting in East Hartford that may have been precipitated by a targeted home invasion robbery, police said.
According to people living nearby, gunfire erupted at the residence just before midnight on Wednesday, U.S. News reported.
Officers responded to the residence in question and discovered two men with gunshot wounds inside the home. They were transported to a nearby hospital, but did not survive.
The sole occupant of the residence said he shot the men after they forced their way into his house, which is part of a duplex.
