Murder/suicide on Shorelands Place
/
Two dead at 11 Shorelands Place, Old Greenwich
Word I’m hearing is the victim was the mother of the shooter, Stein Erik Soelberg.
I’ve written about this man’s troubles before; sad tale.
Police said an Old Greenwich man faces multiple charges after an incident in the area of the Old Greenwich Civic Center on Feb 12 around 9:00pm.
That is when patrol officers were stopped at a stop sign when an oncoming vehicle blew through the opposing stop sign and crossed into the lane of travel where the patrol car was stopped, such that side view mirrors came into contact.
From there, police said the driver, later identified as Stein Erik Soelberg, 56, of Greenwich, fled the scene at a high rate of speed, disregarding officers signals to stop for some time.
Ultametely a motor vehicle stop was successful and on-scene investigation indicated that Mr. Soelberg was under the influence, displaying slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and was unable to focus on and answer questions.
Soelberg was unable to perform field sobriety tests to standard and was placed under arrest.
