My first thought is ex-husband.
It does, from the article, sound personal.
I went to Hartford once - got mugged, haven’t been back ...
If she was talking while being treated, why wasn’t there a suspect description in the article? :-/
Maybe it's because she identified the shooter by name, so there's reason to issue a description for the public.
Didn’t want to admit it was the Amish?
I read That hartford is the Least Friendliest City in the U.S.
I thought it was Newark.
My mistake, It’ New Haven,Conn.
“Maybe it’s because she identified the shooter by name, so there’s reason to issue a description for the public.”
If she named him I don’t know why they would be investigating tire marks left at the scene.
Perhaps for supporting evidence.
I was interviewed twice for Colt’s at Hartford - no job either time. Fascinating business - great workers, technicians, and craftsmen. odd facilities (combination of 19th century and 20th century tooling) - horrible leadership.
Didn’t like the neighborhood much.
