A mother and her 18-year-old son have been arrested after a disturbance in Plainfield in February.
Police said they responded to Bitgood Village in the Moosup village of Plainfield shortly before 11 p.m. on Feb. 19, after receiving reports of a disturbance involving around 10 people.
Police determined that there had been a disagreement on social media and two men and a woman went to a home, where the 18-year-old man instigated a fight with children who lived at and were visiting the residence, police said. He brought a BB-gun-style pistol and was alleged to have used it, according to police.
Police said there was damage to the glass on the front door from a shot being fired.
