WALLINGFORD – A 61-year-old man was found dead in a Grieb Road home late Saturday night in what police are initially a suicide.

 

Randall Fitzpatrick of 29 Grieb Road was found dead in his home at around 10:35 p.m. Saturday, police said. Officers were initially called to the home shortly before 6 p.m. after Fitzpatrick’s girlfriend told police that while talking with him on the phone, she heard gunshots being fired.

Officers went to the home and set up a perimeter around it. Police made numerous attempts to reach Fitzpatrick, but were unable to speak with him.

Police enter the home and found Fitzpatrick’s body. Investigators were on the scene well into the early morning hours of Sunday, Lt. Marc Mikulski said in a written statement.
