Middletown Police are investigating a 1 p.m. shooting at Broad Street Books, the Wesleyan University Bookstore and Café at 45 Broad Street.
The female victim had multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to Middlesex Hospital, according to Middletown Police Lt. Margaret Liseo. It is not known whether she is an employee or customer. No motive has been determined yet for the shooting.
Liseo said police are searching for one suspect, described as a tall white male with a lanky build. A wig and a handgun were recovered at the scene, she said, though it is not known whether the handgun was the weapon used in the shooting.
Much of the area around the bookstore has been blocked off, and police anticipate it will be blocked for several hours.
Working with the Board of Education and Police locked down all the neighboring schools and Wesleyan University, said Liseo, as an absolute precaution.
