Today's riddle: What has a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. New Haven Man Accused Of Involvement In Fairfield Home Invasion: Police (patch.com) — New Haven readers may recognize the 33-year-old city resident now charged as the fourth and final suspect in a February home invasion and armed robbery in Fairfield. Police say detectives tracked him hundreds of miles to Alabama, brought him back to Connecticut, and he is being held on $1 million bail while facing multiple serious felony charges.
2. Double Shooting In West Hills Leaves 1 in Critical Condition With Life-Threatening Injuries: PD (patch.com) — Residents in New Haven's West Hills neighborhood are reeling after two men were shot in a backyard near Judson Avenue and Mead Street on Wednesday evening. Police say one victim is in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, and investigators are continuing to gather information about what happened.
3. To Woonerf, Or Not To Woonerf? (newhavenindependent.org) — City officials and preservationists are wrestling over whether Temple Street through the New Haven Green should become a pedestrian-priority 'woonerf' or remain a car-focused road. At a recent Historic District Commission meeting, members clashed over history, safety, traffic, and the Green's future character while reviewing a state-funded redesign that also includes new crosswalks, a cafe, vendor spaces, and bus stop changes. Their feedback will shape how this central public space evolves.
4. New Haven alders call for inspection after finding mold, rodents in schools. Classes start Monday (nhregister.com) — With New Haven classes starting Monday, alders are demanding a citywide inspection of school buildings after finding mold, rodents, leaks, and HVAC problems in multiple campuses. Officials say some mold has been removed and roof work is underway, while a recent water leak at Lincoln-Bassett will temporarily send affected students to Wexler Grant for daily instruction.
5.
