NEW BRITAIN --

City police Wednesday continued to investigate a shootout at a Corbin Avenue carwash Monday night that ended with one man dead and another seriously wounded.

Police said they are still seeking one suspect, and have not made any further arrests.

Norman Moore, 24, Rashad Williams, 27, and the unidentified suspect drove into the carwash about 8:30 p.m. Monday intending to rob two men who were standing by an Oldsmobile, police said. But one of the men pulled a gun, and Moore was killed in the gunfire that erupted.

During the gunfire, one of the intended robbery victims was wounded, police said, without identifying whether that man had fired the shots that killed Moore. The wounded man was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated for a gunshot wound in the chest. Police Capt. Michael Sullivan said he was expected to live.

Police said the other man was not hurt in the shootout, and was at the scene when police arrived.

My prayers go out to the unnamed victim. I hope he makes it.

As for the slain would-be-robber, my thoughts are not quite so charitable...

bump.

I searched and did not see this posted. Sorry if it is a dupe.

Norman and Rashad...well I'll guess they weren't a couple of Swedes lol...Did ol' Norman ever consider applying for a freakin' JOB at the carwash? Nah, the legacy of slavery and all that...geez, maybe reparations would have helped him out...(extreme sarcasm off)

Your comment gave me an idea: All reparations should be paid quickly, and delivered with great speed in the form of silver
