Man Shot in East Hartford Commuter Lot

A 26-year-old Windsor man was shot several times in a state-owned commuter lot off Route 15 in East Hartford on Thursday night, according to state police.

East Hartford police said they received a call at 9:21 p.m. reporting a shooting in the area of 500 Main Street and found Gregory Clark, 26, of Windsor, in a car at the intersection of Main Street and Silver Lane. He'd been shot several times and was rushed to Hartford Hospital.

As they investigated, local police discovered that Clark was shot in the state-owned commuter parking lot off Route 15 northbound, at exit 90, so they called state troopers from Troop H in Hartford.

The state troopers then searched the area for other possible victims, but did not find any. They also searched for the shooter and witnesses.

In addition to the troopers, the Central District Major Crime unit also responded and is overseeing the investigation.

On Thursday night, police were investigating at several scenes in East Hartford -- 500 Main Street, near the commuter lot; near Mr. Sparkle at Main and Lilac streets; and at a white car marked with crime scene tape at Main Street and Silver Lane. It's unclear whether they're all connected.

Clark's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening and state police said there is no threat to the public.

The incident remains under investigation.
