2 Injured In Bridgeport Shooting: Police

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Two people were injured early Sunday in a shooting outside the La Sabrosura Restaurant on East Main Street in Bridgeport, according to police. The injuries to both victims are not considered to be a threat to their lives.

The shooting occurred at about 2:35 a.m., and upon arrival at the scene, police officers discovered a victim traveling away from the area in a private vehicle. That victim, a 29-year-old Bridgeport woman, was suffering from an injury to her leg, and was quickly transported to an area hospital where she is listed in stable condition.

A second victim of the shooting arrived at an area hospital via private vehicle with an injury to his head. That victim, a 27-year-old Bridgeport man, was treated and released for a graze wound.

"This shooting appears to have occurred outside of the La Sabrosura Restaurant, however, officers came upon a blood trail leading into the restaurant," said Bridgeport Police Capt. Kevin Gilleran in a statement. "This prompted officers to explore the possibility that more victims were still inside. Although no additional victims were identified, physical evidence related to this crime was observed inside the restaurant."

Anyone with information regarding this crime is urged to contact Bridgeport Police Det. John Knapp at 203-581-5251; additionally, tips can be left on the department's tips line at 203 576-TIPS (8477).
