A week after retiring as New Britain’s police chief, Christopher Chute was sworn in Wednesday to a job that never existed before: chief of the Community State Community College police force.
The hospital released a statement the day after the shooting, saying it happened at 5:50 p.m. after an employee disciplinary action in an isolated building maintenance area. The shooter was not located within the building, but he was well known because he s a person who works at the hospital. Apparently, he had a dispute with a supervisor, pulled a gun and shot him, Gagliardi said.
Hospital officials said he likely went home and returned with a gun.
The two victims, Lynn Trask, of Bristol, and Robert Barucci, who recently moved from Wallingford to Southington, suffered gunshot wounds to the upper body, according to police.
