A Willimantic police investigation that started at a local nightclub spread to a residential neighborhood on Emerald Avenue early Sunday morning, police said.
Police told NBC Connecticut they were called to the Abracadabra restaurant and dance club at 600 Main Street around 1:45 a.m. Police said the investigation spread to another location.
Though police have not confirmed the address, an NBC Connecticut crew on scene reports detectives have been photographing evidence on Emerald Avenue and a crime scene has been established in the area.
As of 4:50 p.m. police had not confirmed the exact nature of the investigation, but did say the entire detective unit was involved in the case.
Neighbors told NBC Connecticut they woke up to what they believe was the sound of gunfire this morning.
“I heard pow, pow, pow and then I heard some woman screaming, and then I called police,” said Andrew Martin, who lives across the street from the scene.
Police said the incident has been contained and that there is no immediate danger to the public.
