Simsbury Firefighters Honored Via Renamed Road
SIMSBURY, CT — Motorists traveling through town will notice a new roadside marking where they are going, with local firefighters being feted as well.
State and local dignitaries were in Simsbury last week to officially dedicate a section of Route 185 as the “Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company Memorial Highway.”
The honor, finalized July 24 during a special ceremony, is in commemoration of the SVFC’s 80th anniversary, which is this year.
The ceremony was at the Simsbury firehouse on Hopmeadow Street
Specifically, the signs are visible along Route 185 between the Bloomfield town line and Hopmeadow Street.
Two people have been arrested in connection to a shooting at an event hall in Waterbury last weekend.
Officers received information about a shooting at So Blu’Niq on Wolcott Street on Sunday around 5 a.m. It was also reported that a victim from the incident had admitted themselves to the hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds.
Police said they made contact with the 27-year-old victim at the hospital. According to investigators, she had a gunshot wound to her abdomen and her arm. She is reportedly still admitted and receiving treatment, but is considered to be in stable condition.
Investigators responded to So Blu’Niq and found a crime scene. Authorities said they determined there was an isolated disturbance that happened inside the business that escalated to a firearm being discharged and the woman being hit by a projectile.
While investigating, authorities said they also determined that at the time of the incident, liquor and alcoholic beverages were illegally being sold without a permit or license.
Warrants were secured for a 50-year-old woman from Waterbury and a 29-year-old man from Waterbury.
The woman was taken into custody on Friday and is being charged with illegal sale of alcohol. She is set to appear in court on June 10.
The man was taken into custody on Wednesday and is facing charges including assault, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a pistol/revolver by a convicted felon, illegal discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment and carrying a pistol without a permit. He appeared in court on Thursday on a $1.5 millon bond.
