SIGN UP At this time, officers are conducting an investigation. Authorities believe this is an isolated incident and there are no threats to the public.
Neighbors are stunned by the shooting. One neighbor we talked to says she has lived here for more than 20 years and she doesn't see police often.
"Bristol is very safe. Quiet, but safe," said Le Hoang.

She enjoys taking long walks around her Bristol neighborhood and does it often. However, seeing a couple police cars in front of a home down the street from her own was surprising.
"Sometimes the police come for fighting like that, a little bit but I never seen so many cops," Hoang said. "I hope it's only this time. Never happen again, that's it."
