One person has been arrested in connection to shots fired at an apartment complex in Norwich on Monday night.

Dispatchers received multiple 911 calls from residents at Stonington Estate Apartments on Stonington Road around 7 p.m. about a shooting within or around the apartment building.

Once in the area, officers said they heard about six gunshots from an unknown location on the property. A shelter in place alert was sent to residents in and around the property.

Evidence of a shooting was found outside in the back of the building. That's where police said officers found an intoxicated man.

Officers attempted negotiations with the man in an attempt to get him to surrender peacefully.

The man, who had left his apartment and was on the rear porch, jumped a short distance and was taken into custody.

Once the man was in custody, officers went into the man's apartment to make sure there were no possible victims. Police have since secured the apartment and are waiting to execute a search warrant for further evidence.

The man is currently facing charges including disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment, unlawful discharge of weapons and carrying a firearm while intoxicated. He's being held on a $150,000 bond and is due in court on Tuesday.

No injuries were reported. There does not appear to be a further threat to the public.
