McCauley said that she had often heard her neighbors, the residents of 13 Courtland St., fighting, but that she did not know them or their children.

Police still had the neighborhood blocked as it remains an active crime scene.

On the Fermi Football Facebook page a writer says that Bill Beeler, the officer shot during the incident who is also the Fermi High coach, was "shot in the shoulder, has been treated, and is going to be fine. He will appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers!"

Lt. Christopher Davis of the Manchester Police Department said police shot and killed the hostage suspect after he let his family go. 

Davis declined to release the name, but said the suspect lived at 13 Courtand St. 

Davis said the suspect shot and wounded a police officer in the shoulder, but that the injuries were non-life threatening and that the officer was taken to Hartford Hospital. The officer has been identified as Bill Beeler.

Beeler was taken to Hartford Hospital where he is listed in fair condition. Beeler is the head coach of the Fermi High School football team in Enfield.
