A 32-year-old Newtown resident has been arrested after allegedly shooting one person and then barricading themselves inside a Boggs Hill Road residence for five hours.

Meghan Gouveia was arrested early this morning and charged with Assault 1 (53a-59), Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm (53-203), Criminal Use of a Firearm (53a-216), Risk of Injury to a Minor, 2 counts (53-21), Reckless Endangerment 1st (53a-63), and Negligent Storage of a Firearm (53a-217a). She is being held on a $1.5 million bond.

According to a release issued by Newtown Police Department this morning, the incident began around 7:49 pm Sunday, December 24, when Newtown Police responded to the Boggs Hill Road residence for a reported dispute. Upon arrival, the caller was located on the front porch of the residence with multiple gunshot wounds.

Officers were able to pull the victim to safety as Gouveia retreated into the residence. The victim was transported by Newtown Ambulance to Danbury Hospital due to injuries sustained during the incident. The victim is currently in stable condition, according to Newtown Police.

The private home, according to a December 24 Facebook post by the local PD, was in the area of Willowbrook Road and Bentagrass Lane.

"The situation is contained to a single residence and Newtown Police are on scene with assistance from local partners," the post also noted.

Boggs Hill Road was closed in the area of the incident until it was resolved.

Multiple surrounding agencies and the Western Connecticut Regional Emergency Services Unit were called to assist as Gouveia remained barricaded inside the residence.

Shortly before 1 am Monday, December 25, Gouveia peacefully exited the residence and was arrested.

Newtown PD Lieutenant Scott Smith said Newtown “officers acted selflessly and put themselves in harms way to pull the victim to safety.

“Additionally, our department is grateful to the surrounding police departments who responded to this incident and assisted in its peaceful conclusion.”

In an update to the original Facebook post, Newtown Police Chief David Kullgren also offered his thanks to the "mutual aid partners who responded to assist our community."
