Two people hospitalized following shooting in New London
Officers received a report of the shooting at 11:12 p.m. and responded to the area of Bank Street and Golden Street where they found a man who appeared to have been shot in the leg, according to Brian M. Wright, chief of the New London Police Department. The man received medical attention at the scene from police before being taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital.
Wright said police found evidence in the area confirming there was a shooting. The scene was secured as police established a perimeter. The department's Investigative Services Division responded to collect evidence and process the scene.
As police were still investigating, they learned that a second victim arrived at Lawrence + Memorial for treatment for what appeared to be a gunshot wound to his leg, Wright said.
According to Wright, neither victim suffered life-threatening injuries. The shooting does 'not appear to be a random act,' Wright said in a statement.
The investigation remains ongoing.

Victim's girlfriend among 9 South Carolina teens arrested in 16-year-old's murder, alleged set up
Nine South Carolina teens were arrested in the June shooting death of a 16-year-old who authorities say was involved in an argument 'over a girl' with his alleged shooter, according to local reports. The victim's 17-year-old girlfriend is among the suspects. Florence County Sheriff's deputies found Trey Dean Wright of Johnsonville dead on First Neck Road with multiple gunshot wounds June 24, authorities said previously. He was found about 45 miles west of Myrtle Beach. The following day, they arrested Devan Scott Raper, a 19-year-old from Conway, who allegedly fatally shot Wright after an argument. At least one teen involved reportedly recorded the slaying on video. And deputies continued to announce new arrests for weeks as the investigation dug deeper. 'All this court hearing and bond court and stuff is driving me crazy,' Wright's mother, Ashley Lindsey, told Fox News Digital. 'I don't even have time to sit down and think half the time, on top of losing my precious baby.' Now, an entire group of teens, many of them juveniles, are facing charges, some for allegedly setting Wright up and bringing Raper to the victim's location, knowing he was armed, according to authorities. 3 PICTURED: From left: Corrine Belviso, Devan Raper, Gianna Helene Kistenmacher, Hunter Kendall and Sydney Kearns. Florence County Sheriff's Office One of the suspects was Wright's girlfriend, Gianna Kistenmacher, a Myrtle Beach 17-year-old, his mother said. Kistenmacher was charged with being an accessory before the fact for allegedly bringing Raper to the crime scene knowing he was both armed and likely to kill her boyfriend, according to a press release from the sheriff's office. A spokesperson for the sheriff's office did not immediately return a call seeking comment from Fox News Digital Wednesday. Prosecutors confirmed that nine teens had been charged but declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation. 'They were complicit in bringing the armed codefendant, Raper, to the incident location and knowing that there would be a confrontation,' Maj. Michael Nunn of the Florence County Sheriff's Office told WBTW-TV, which is based in Florence. 'They knew that Raper had presented a firearm to the victim and made threats to shoot him, according to the arrest warrants.' 3 Trey Dean Wright was found dead roughly 45 miles west of Myrtle Beach. 4kclips – He told the Post and Courier separately that, under state law, all five are charged as adults. Prosecutors filed additional murder charges against three more Myrtle Beach-area teens, identified as 18-year-olds Hunter Kendall and Corrine Belviso and 17-year-old Sydney Kearns, according to WBTW. 'The hand of one being the hand of all is part of South Carolina law as well, so that's the basis of the charge for each of those individuals,' Nunn told the station. Sheriff T.J. Joye told the station separately that the fatal shooting appeared to have stemmed from an argument and apparent romantic rivalry. 3 One of the suspects was Wright's girlfriend, according to his mother. gofundme 'They had issues with each other, and it was over a female,' he reportedly said. 'The sad thing is, you got a 16-year-old that lost his life. You've got a 19-year-old who is going to be in jail the rest of his life. Over what?'

Man shot five times while collecting pizza had '£30,000 contract on his head'
A man was arrested in connection to a fatal shooting was shot five times as he picked up a pizza. 18 years ago, Ryan Woolley was murdered while he collected his food at a takeaway on Picton Road, Wavertree in Liverpool. Despite three men standing trial for the alleged "gangland killing", no one has ever been convicted. Detectives believe that Mr Woolley was shot in the neck, face and chest as a getback for the killing of a Michael "Mikey" Wright, who was murdered in December 2006. Mr Woolley's brother Philip was convicted of being the "executioner or executioner's assistant" when Mr Wright was shot at close-range as he sat eating his food outside KFC at Croxteth's Stonedale retail park in December 2006, the ECHO reports.. READ MORE: Kate Garraway thanks 'gallant stranger' for selfless act at Oasis gig READ MORE: UK tourists travelling to 29 European countries face strict new rules Ryan Woolley was also arrested during the investigation into Mr Wright's murder. But the senior prosecutor during the trial into his own murder told jurors there was no good evidence to link him to the killing. He told the jury: "There are those who do not want to rely on the proper rules of law which apply to the rest of us. "Thus it would appear Ryan Woolley became a target not for the police, whose job it is to enforce the law, but for others who prefer to live outside it. A contract was put out on Ryan Woolley's head and his death seems to have been the consequence of it." On the day of his death, on August 11 2007, Mr Woolley spent the day drinking on Wavertree High Street with two men who would eventually go on to stand trial for the murder. The drinking resumed in the evening, but at around 9.45pm, one of the two former suspects said he needed to return home because of a police curfew. He told Mr Woolley to collect the pizzas over fears of being arrested and, during that time, it is alleged he summoned a hitman, who was accused of lying in wait in a gated alleyway off Taunton Street. CCTV captured Mr Woolley waiting in Prime Pizza, but just 25 seconds after he left the shop, five loud shots rang out. Mr Woolley, who was three days off his 21st birthday, died instantly. A post-mortem later showed Mr Woolley was shot first from behind through his neck. A second bullet went into his chin and three more bullets were fired into his body. Speaking to the ECHO previously from her Walton home, Mr Woolley's mum Kim said she had no idea why her son was in Wavertree as he had no friends in the area. She said: "His brother spoke to him later that night and told him to get back to his own end of town. People have assumed that this has happened because of Philip, but as far as we know it could be something completely different." The three suspects charged with Mr Woolley's murder went on trial in April 2009. But at the end of the prosecution's case two weeks later, where the court heard a £30,000 contract was on his head, their legal teams argued there was no case to answer based on the evidence put before the court. High Court judge Mr Justice Pitchford threw the case out but the Crown Prosecution Service took his decision to the Court of Appeal, but they lost their challenge. Discharging the jury and acquitting the defendants, Justice Pitchford said he had come to the conclusion that there was "practically no" evidence that one of the men standing trial was the gunman. Following the acquittal, Merseyside Police said the case remained open and "detectives would still like to speak to anybody who has information about the murder of Ryan Woolley". The force had not re-appealed for more information regarding the murder, until the ECHO requested an update on the investigation this week. Howard Rubbery, head of Merseyside Police's serious crime review unit, told the ECHO: "The murder of Ryan Woolley in 2007 is subject to regular reviews by the unit and we would always investigate any new leads or information. We know, as in many cases, that our communities often hold the information which is vital to our enquiries. "Ryan was only a young man and his death left his family and friends devastated. Any small amount of information could be the key to getting justice for them." It is still believed the shooting of Mr Woolley was linked to the murder of Mr Wright just months before. Underworld figure David Hibbs-Turner, described as the "principal architect and controlling mind" behind a wave of crime and terror, was convicted of ordering the shooting of Mr Wright. A trial heard Hibbs-Turner had a longstanding personal hatred of Mr Wright because his girlfriend previously dated him and the pair had a child together. Philip Woolley, who the court heard had an IQ of just 68 and was described as "suffering a significant mental impairment", was also sentenced and told he would have to serve a minimum term of 24 years in prison. Following a retrial, Mark Richardson and Paul Hollands were jailed for life for their part in the shooting, serving 28 and 25 years respectively. The judge said the shooting of Mr Wright was "a deliberate, ruthless and cowardly execution". Anyone with information about Ryan Woolley's murder is asked to DM @MerPolCC or call 101.
