Suspect in workplace shooting arrested
SOUTH WINDSOR — A suspect was taken into custody just over the Massachusetts line after he fled an alleged workplace shooting Tuesday morning, according to police.
Police said they received a 911 call around 8:40 a.m. Tuesday from a man who said he was shot in the parking lot of 105 Edwin Road — an industrial condominium complex that houses multiple businesses.
First responders were dispatched and found two gunshot wound victims. Police said the suspect and victims worked at the same business. Police did not immediately say if they knew of a motive.
WFSB later reported police identified the shooter as 33-year-old Alan Rosario, a resident of Springfield, Mass.
Sgt. Mark Celverdon said both victims were taken to Hartford Hospital, where they were each treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released.
The suspect fled the scene, but police learned from one of the victims that he might have been headed to Massachusetts. Police said the victim was able to give a description of the suspect’s vehicle as well.
The information was then relayed to police department in surrounding towns.
Enfield police then spotted the vehicle headed north on Interstate 91.
