DCP Issues Suspension for Meriden Bar After Shooting

A man is recovering after being shot inside a Meriden bar early Saturday morning.

On Monday, the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) issued a summary suspension for the Red Room Grille on North Colony Street after learning a patron was shot. 

Meriden police said they responded to the bar at 575 North Colony Road around 1:45 a.m. for a report of shots fired. When officers arrived they found multiple shell casings inside the bar.

As officers investigated they were notified by staff at Midstate Medical Center that a gunshot victim had arrived at the hospital. Police determined the victim had been at the bar but left before officers arrived. The victim had non-life threatening injuries and has been treated and released.

There is no suspect description or suspected motive at this time. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information should contact Meriden Police Detective Eric Simonson at (203) 630-6318.
