After Park Gathering, Woman Grazed By Bullet While Waiting On Uber: PD

NEW HAVEN, CT —After being at a large gathering at Edgewood Park late last Thursday night, a woman walked into Saint Raphael Hospital with a non-life threatening gunshot injury, police said.

She told cops she left the park to catch an Uber at the Gulf gas station at the Fitch and Blake street intersection when a car drove by and "started shooting."

It was around 11 p.m. when police first got a call about gunshots heard at the intersection. When officers got there, they found five fired cartridge casings and two live rounds on Fitch Street, just west of the gas station, police spokesperson Capt. Rose Dell said.

Around an hour later, the woman "walked into" the St. Raphael’s Campus of Yale New Haven Hospital, Dell said. She reported that while at the gas station waiting on the ride-share, a vehicle then drove by and started shooting at a group of males who were walking towards the gas station," Dell said. A bullet grazed the woman, police said.
