ANSONIA - Two city residents were shot early this morning at the St. Sebastian Club on Father Salemi Drive, Lt. Patrick Lynch said in a written release.

At about 2:30 a.m. police responded to 130 Father Salemi Drive for a report of a shooting. 

Officers first on scene found a 27-year-old male Ansonia resident that had been shot multiple times in the torso. 

The male was transported to a local hospital where he is in critical condition, Lynch said. 

During the investigation a second male gunshot victim was found. He was shot once in the buttocks. 

This male, a 26-year-old Ansonia resident, was transported to a local hospital where he was treated for the non-life-threatening injury. 

Officers initially responded to the location at about 2 a.m. for a disturbance, where they found a party at the location that ended when unknown parties began to fight. 

The people involved in the initial disturbance left the scene before officers’ arrival. 

Shortly after officers left the area the shooting occurred injuring the two Ansonia residents, Lynch said. 

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Detectives are gathering information and identifying potential witnesses.

Children 5 years old and older who have participated in our Summer Reading Program are welcome to join us to celebrate their reading accomplishments as they are educated by Animal Embassy.

We'll learn about floating vs. sinking, and we'll discover other adaptations that help these creatures to live beneath the surface or on dry land. 

Caregivers must remain with their children for this program.

Registration is required for children only.
