EAST HAVEN, CT — A daytime shooting on Main Street Friday morning is under investigation.

According to East Haven Police Capt.

The person was not hit.

Murgo said video surveillance shows the "intended target" run across Main Street towards Harrington Avenue while the Range Rover took off heading east on Main Street before turning into the McDermott Chevrolet parking lot. The SUV is seen traveling through the parking lot at a high rate of speed before turning right onto Frontage Road heading west.

East Haven Police Investigative Services Division found several bullets were found lodged on the outside of the Village Restaurant, 699 Main St. No one inside the restaurant, which was open for business at the time, was injured.

"We believe this is an isolated incident which remains under investigation," Murgo said.
