Shots Fired, Vehicles Hit By Gunfire: Stamford Police

STAMFORD, CT — Three vehicles parked in Stamford were damaged by gunfire early Sunday morning, according to police.

Stamford police Capt. Richard Conklin said the damaged vehicles were discovered and reported to police around 8:30 a.m. The owners of the vehicles and neighbors in the area told officers they heard gunshots around 2:30 a.m. but did not contact police, Conklin said.

"We just thought that was a bit odd," Conklin said, "that people heard a series of gunshots and didn't report it."

Forensic investigators later recovered 10 shell casings from the street, according to Conklin. (To sign up for Stamford breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

The captain said Monday afternoon he was unsure what led up to the gunfire.

"We're still working on it," Conklin said. "We're a little behind because we didn't get the report until about 8:30 [a.m.], but we're definitely investigating it and trying to [locate] some video footage."

He also noted there may have been a small gathering of people in the area around that time, but he was unsure if it had any impact on the incident.
