They have been identified as Chavis Goldson, 19, of New Haven, and Lorenzo Freeman, 25, of West Haven, police said.

They were taken to the hospital, where both men died, police said.

"It appears they were targeted shortly after they arrived on Judson Avenue," police said.

She was taken to the hospital, where it was determined that her injuries were caused by debris and plaster from the wall, which grazed her head, police said. Her injuries are not life-threatening, police said.
