NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — Two people were shot at a rehabilitation hospital on Wednesday, and someone believed to be an employee was arrested, the mayor and other authorities said.
Mayor Timothy O'Brien said in an interview with WVIT-TV that he didn't know the conditions of the people who were shot.
A helicopter with a search light flew over the hospital, which was surrounded by police cars and ambulances. SWAT teams with rifles walked along the streets outside the building in New Britain, a city of about 75,000 residents just southwest of the state capital, Hartford.
The shootings took place at the Hospital for Special Care, a private nonprofit facility specializing in rehabilitation and long-term acute care.
Police said the suspect was arrested outside a home about a mile away, the Hartford Courant reported.
A hospital spokeswoman said she didn't have details of the shooting. A New Britain police dispatcher said no one was available to comment.
