HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) — A 28-year-old year man is dead and four others were shot at a nightclub in the south end of Hartford early Sunday morning, according to Police.
Officers were called to the Majestic Lounge on Franklin Avenue around 1:30 a.m.
According to Police, two of the surviving victims are in surgery and the other two victims are stable.
One of the victims was being driven to the hospital by their brother and the car they were in crashed. However, they did make it to the hospital.
