New Haven, Conn (WTNH) - New Haven police are looking for the suspect in an afternoon shooting on Legion Avenue that has left one person hospitalized.
Police swarmed the back parking lot of an apartment complex at the corner of Legion and Sherman around 3:00pm Tuesday. Evidence marked on the scene suggests multiple shell casings. That is consistent with what was heard at the Holy Trinity Church next door.
"We heard about six shots. We thought it was on Sylvan Avenue side, but someone came inside and told us that someone... one of the ministers left and called my pastor on the phone and told my pastor that someone had gotten shot next door to the church," Catherine Bowden said.
The shooting in broad daylight, these days, doesn't seem to shock people anymore.
We live in New Haven. We live all over New Haven, and it's all over New Haven. It's a really sad thing that we're losing policemen now. It's very frightening," Bowden said.
Police say the victim was taken by a private car and dropped at Saint Raphael's Hospital. No word on that person's condition.
The police believe they are looking for one shooter, but they have not come out with a description as of yet
