Does East Hartford have gun-banning laws for the law-abiding citizens?

I work in east Hartford at Pratt Whitney.

I did contract work there in the mid-90's. Security there was pathetic, especially in "M" building. I imagine it must be tougher now.

Is it an ‘apartment complex’ or the projects?

I flew over East Hartford in a jetliner at 30,000 feet. You’re right, it seemed like a really nice dot.

Crime is escalating everywhere. It’s a shame what’s happening across the country.

Thanks. Not a murder-suicide from the sound of it, but maybe a gang war or a drug robbery.

He, too, then heard gunfire, loud voices and the sound of people running away in different directions above his head, he said. He asked that his last name not be used because the killer or killers could still be at large.

The witness then wisely ducked into a lady's apartment, so we don't know if the perps ran out of the building or if they ran back into another apartment.
