State police are investigating a fatal police-involved shooting in Willimantic, CT.

State Police have identified the hatchet-wielding man shot and killed by Willimantic police officers.

Police responded to an apartment building at Main and Clark streets just before 8 p.m.  Tuesday after someone reported that a man was acting in a threatening manner outside the building, according to state police.

When officers arrived, they found Daniel Johnston, 58,  with a hatchet

There was some sort of confrontation between the officers and Johnston, according to state police.  Police told Johnston to put down the hatchet, but he did not.

One Willimantic officer used a stun gun and the other shot his service weapon, according to state police.

Emergency crews brought the Johnston to Windham Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Major Crimes Squad was been called in and an investigation will be conducted to determine whether the shooting was justified.

The two officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative duty.

Pursuing the American Dream

By Reeba Monachan, APIASF Staff

Who has ever heard of a doctor making $3.00 an hour? I have. In fact, my mother made just a bit more - $3.40 - after she came to the US. Her medical degree and previous life unrecognized, my family came to live the American Dream.

Many Asian American families come to the US only to serve in areas and positions that essentially require them to start over. I can't tell you how many cab drivers I've met who have terminal degrees! Regardless, they have worked hard, and define their own success because of perseverance, luck and - as Mummy likes to say - lots of prayers. 

We are a resilient people! The American Dream wasn't only meant for those who were born here, raised here or educated here. The American Dream was built on the backs of immigrants that came to this country to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Today, my parents live comfortable lives. My mom loves to garden and my dad enjoys writing. I guess you could say we are a 'typical American family' (whatever that means). And their daughter is doing the work she loves having been inspired by them. It is because they pursued the American Dream that I can now pursue my own.
