SOUTHBURY, Conn. (WFSB) - Police are investigating a suspicious incident in Southbury.

Police have not released details on what the incident is, or what caused the injury, but Channel 3 spoke to a man off-camera who says he was shot at.

His arm was bandaged up.

Beyond the crime scene tape was a truck with damage to its front driver’s side window.

One person who lives nearby said she heard what sounded like a gunshot at about 9:30 this morning, just before police rushed to the area.

“I mean, we live in a town of 20,000 people, that’s it. You know, it’s country. We have bears that walk through your neighborhood. We don’t have stuff like this.”
