ENFIELD, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - Enfield Police are investigating a domestic violence incident reported at a residence in town early Monday morning.

The incident, at the undisclosed residence, unfolded around 12:50 a.m. in the master bedroom of a house where the husband and wife were located.

During the struggle, police say the female victim sustained significant head trauma believed to be caused by a blunt object. The male suspect then discharged at least one round from what appears to be a shotgun within the bedroom.

He subsequently obtained a second firearm, identified as a rifle. A physical altercation then occurred between the suspect and one of the adult sons present in the residence, during which the rifle was discharged twice, according to police.

The female victim was transported to Baystate Medical Center for treatment of head trauma.

The male suspect was transported to St. Francis Hospital with an apparent partial finger amputation.

The hospital treated and released the man, who is now in Enfield police custody.

A search warrant is being prepared for the residence.
