A lone female subject entered the lobby of the Bristol Police Department, at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, and fired multiple rounds into the front lobby desk office window, which was unoccupied at the time, according to release from the police department, according to a Police Dept. release.

The shots were stopped by bullet-resistant glass. Officers attempted to negotiate and more shots wer fired and stopped by the glass. When the subject set down the firearm, officers deployed an electronic control device and took the subject into custody without serious injury.

She was taken to the hospital for evaluation. CSP Central District Major Crimes Division along with the Inspector General’s Office are handling the investigation.

The Police Dept. has asked that anyone without essential police business avoid the area today.

ll TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

• Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
