Springfield shooting victim dies at hospital Posted: Apr 18, 2015 8:05 PM EDT Updated: Apr 19, 2015 7:12 PM EDT By WCAX NewsCONNECT SPRINGFIELD, Vt. - Police in Springfield continue to look for the person behind a deadly shooting Saturday night. "Somebody started hollering, 'help, help, help,'" said Springfield resident Stephen Comstock. Comstock has lived in Springfield for over 50 years. When he heard gunshots outside of his home Saturday evening, he says at first he wasn't concerned. "You know, you hear gunshots -- I mean we live in Vermont. I don't think anything of that," he said. Police say 37-year-old Wesley Wing was shot and went to the Jake South Street Market for help. Comstock was at home just next door when he heard the commotion. "I went across the street cause my wife said that there was something going on at the store. So I went across, and the gentleman was on the floor," he said. Emergency responders took Wing to the Springfield Hospital before air-lifting him to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Police say the incident appeared to be isolated, but the shooter is still on the loose. Police were on the lookout for a black Infiniti with Vermont plates. This is not the first shooting in this community in recent years, and those who call it home are concerned. "It's not the town I grew up in -- I told the chief of police last night. It was kind of poor choice of words at the time, but welcome to the town that didn't used to be," Comstock said. Police announced on Sunday that Wing had succumbed to his gun shot wounds around 2:30 a.m.
