Woman opens fire in Connecticut police department lobby, prompting exchange of gunfire with officer between bullet-proof glass

A woman is in custody Fridy after authorties said she opened fire in a police department lobby in Connecticut, spurring an exchange of gunfire with an officer.

The woman, who has been identified as 51-year-old Suzanne Laprise, entered the lobby of the Bristol Police Department at around 10:35 p.m. on Thursday night and "fired multiple rounds" into the window of the front lobby desk, police said. The desk was unoccupied at the time, and the bullets did not penetrate the bullet-resistant glass, police said. 

Officers responded to the gunfire and attempted to negotiate. However, Laprise continued to fire the gun, directing the bullets at officers. An officer returned fire, but "the rounds were again stopped by bullet-resistant glass."
