Woods quickly left the area prior to police arriving on scene. Middletown Police detectives located Woods at his Wethersfield residence and interviewed Woods in reference to this incident. As a result of the investigation Woods admitted to firing the shot in an area unsuitable for hunting, therefore causing the bullet to travel within the residential neighborhood.
