NEW HAVEN, CT — Two people were injured in separate shootings Dec. 21 and 22. Police responded to Greenwood Street at 8:48 p.m. Dec. 21 on a report of gunfire and someone shot.

They discovered a 55-year-old woman who was shot in the chest and leg. She was rushed to the hospital for treatment and remains in critical, but stable condition, said Officer David Hartman, police spokesman.

On Dec. 22 police responded to a report of gunfire on Ferry Street at 4:23 a.m. The victim was located on a front porch.
