WESTBROOK, Conn. — A 37-year-old man has been charged with murder and attempted murder after two people were found shot inside a Westbrook home, one of whom died, Connecticut State Police said Thursday.

Troopers were called to the home at about 5:25 p.m. Oct. 28 on a report of a disturbance, according to state police. When they arrived, they found John Bongiovanni, 37, outside the house, police said.

Inside, troopers found two people with apparent gunshot wounds, police said. One was pronounced dead at the scene. The other was taken to Hartford Hospital, where that person was in critical condition, according to the state police account.

Bongiovanni was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder, police said. He was held on $3 million bond and was scheduled to appear Thursday in Middletown Superior Court.

State police did not identify the victims or say how they were related to Bongiovanni, if at all. The release did not say where Bongiovanni lives.

The charges are allegations, and Bongiovanni is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
