COLCHESTER — In a coordinated effort, the Colchester Police Department, alongside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Chittenden County Gun Violence Task Force, arrested a local man on June 3, in relation to a shooting incident that occurred on Sharrow Circle last month.
Sami Ettouzar, 19, of Essex Junction, faces several charges including second-degree attempted murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, carrying a firearm while committing a felony, possession of stolen property, and driving with a suspended license, according to the Colchester Police Department.
