According to Lt. Aaron Boisvert of the Hartford Police, patrol officers responded to a 911 caller reporting a domestic incident. When they arrived, officers were met by a man on the porch, suffering from injuries to his head.

The man said his mother had been shot and that a man was inside and armed.

Officers were able to quickly secure the suspect, identified as Lance Logan, age 60, of Hartford, Boisvert said.
