Police: 1 man killed, another wounded in CT shooting with multiple shooters

A man was killed and another was wounded in a targeted shooting that police say involved multiple shooters in Bridgeport early Sunday.

The man, who was unresponsive when police found him, was given immediate medical attention and was rushed to a hospital where he died, police said.

Shortly after police responded to the ShotSpotter alert, the Bridgeport Police Emergency Operations Center learned of a second victim who had shown up to a hospital with multiple gunshot wounds to the lower part of his body, police said.

Police reported the man, a 23-year-old from Stratford, said that he had been shot near the same intersection. He was treated at the hospital and was in stable condition as of Sunday morning.

The Detective Bureau Homicide Squad was investigating the shooting and on Sunday were in the process of interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence and notifying the victim’s family, police said.
