This afternoon during a press conference, Police Chief Rebecca Garcia said that at 1:10am police were called to a stabbing at 351 Clinton Avenue. The chief said the suspect was “making stabbing motions toward the victim,” Garcia said. Police attempted to de-escalate the incident without success. Police officers Elioz Henry and Sean Curran used a taser in an attempt to stop the suspect 27-year-old Juan Villa. Officer Henry fired his service weapon striking the suspect on the right side.

It is protocol that the officers involved in a shotting go on paid administrative leave and that the State Police investigate the incident.
