The incident occurred in New London County around 3 a.m. Wednesday, July 5, at the H&T Mini Mart at 1 Ocean Ave., New London.

New London police responded to the store on a report of a shooting, said Capt. Matthew Galante, of the New London Police.

Police on the scene located evidence supporting a shooting, but no victim who had been transported by a private car to Lawrence and Memorial Hospital, Galante said.

Galante said the victim, a 19-year-old, who was shot multiple times, was later transferred to Yale-New Haven Hospital where he is currently listed in critical condition.

The three men ran from the scene and are wanted for questioning.
