New Hartford Police Chief Ron Fontaine reassures Public after ‘Foolish’ Shooting at Sangertown Mall

After Saturday’s ‘foolish’ shooting at Sangertown Mall and quick arrest, New Hartford Police Chief Ron Fontaine urged the public to not live in a state of fear. The Chief assured the community that significant surveillance, monitoring technology and police presence at the mall and nearby businesses make it likely that anyone who commits a violent act or crime in the area will be caught, so hopefully it makes them think twice about doing anything wrong.
