From the Middletown Police Department
On 12-22-09, at approx. 2:30p.m., Middletown Police officers received complaints of a single gunshot on Atkins St., near the intersection of Pinehurst Pl. Officers responded to the area and after a brief canvass, they located fragments of a bullet which was believed to have been shot from a hunting type long arm rifle. This evidence was located on Pinehurst Pl. No injuries or property damage occurred as a result of the gunshot.
At this time the incident is under investigation and it appears that there was a hunter who had been in that area during the time that the incident was reported.
At this time there is no reason to believe that the gunshot was a result of any act or attempted acts of violence.
In what way can one fire a hunting rifle near a residential area without committing an act of violence?
