NORWICH – The City of Norwich Police Department is investigating a Thursday morning shooting along Cortland Street.

Police have not yet named a suspect but said one person was in custody and officers describe the incident as a non-accidental discharge of a firearm.

Norwich Police Chief Rodney Marsh said no one was injured and there was no danger to the public.

“At approximately 11:51 a.m., officers responded to 75 Cortland Street for a Check Welfare Complaint. An individual had called 911 and requested the police. One individual was taken into custody, inside the residence,” reported Marsh.
