Witnesses Friday described the chaotic scene of the police shooting in Stonington the night before.
Neighbors in the area say the troopers were calling for the suspect to come out of a home. When the suspect came out, he shot a police K9, before troopers opened fire on him, according to witnesses.
"They started announcing to whoever the guy was, come out with your hands up so they told me to come back inside so I went back inside and at that point I looked out my window, said Chris, who didn't want his last name used. "As soon as I looked out the window the guy had already crossed the street. He shot the K9 dog."
