A state police trooper shot an armed man while responding to an incident in Burlington on Tuesday afternoon and Central District Major Crime and the state attorney’s office are now investigating.
State police said troopers responded to Angela’s Way around 1:30 p.m. to investigate a suspicious incident and a person threatening to harm himself and found Maciej Konferowicz, 49, of 29 Angela's Way, with a gun. He refused orders to drop his weapon and at least one trooper shot at least one round from a duty weapon and hit Konferowicz, police said.
Konferowicz was transported to St. Francis Hospital and does not appear to have life-threatening injuries. He has been released from the hospital, police said.
Police said two state troopers have been placed on administrative duty during the investigation, Sgt. Jack Goncalves a 19-year veteran of the Connecticut State Police and Trooper First Class Laurie Deltorto, a 22-year veteran of the Connecticut State Police.
Placing the troopers on administrative leave is standard procedure, pending the outcome of the investigation.
