Man Injured In Shooting At Large Party In Hamden: Police

HAMDEN, CT — A man was hospitalized after being shot in the leg at a party Thursday night in Hamden, according to police. Hamden police responded to Warner Street around 8 p.m. on the report of “shots fired” with a gunshot victim, according to Capt. Ronald Smith.

The unidentified victim was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg, according to Smith.
