Wilbraham Police say the man who was killed in a condominium complex last night was 29 year old David Gatti. He lived in the same complex as the man who shot him to death.

Police responded to the Woodcrest Condominiums at 2205 Boston Road for a reported shooting arouns 8pm Thursday night.

Upon arrival police officers found a male inside one of the condos suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was rushed to Baystate Medical Center, where he later pronounced dead.

Police say the homeowner knew the person he shot, but was not welcome inside his home.

Massachusetts State Police are assisting the Wilbraham Police Department with this investigation.

We'll have more tonight on CBS 3 Springfield News at 6, 10 & 11pm and here at cbs3springfield.com.

yes, something isn't right about this. dave gatti was a good person, he wasn't armed, he wasn't trying to rob them, he didn't attack them - why is he dead?
