Fairfield Police found the unidentified man around 9:07 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a 911 call from an employee at Wings Over Fairfield, 2075 Black Rock Turnpike, reporting that a man was shot in the back of the building, said Lt. Robert Kalamaras.
Police arrived on the scene within seconds and found the man lying on his back in the rear hallway of the restaurant, he said.
