A 41-year-old man was fatally shot while behind the wheel in Wolcott early Thursday, police said.

Officers responding to a report of a one-car crash at 816 Wolcott Road found the gravely-wounded man in a bullet-riddled car, the police chief said.

It is the second shooting in a week in the small town next to Waterbury and the third incident of gunfire in a month. Stephens said police don’t believe the gun incidents are related, but are not ruling anything out.
