Police are investigating after several people were shot within hours in Bridgeport over the holiday weekend.
The first shooting was on Saturday around 8:10 p.m. when there was a ShotSpotter activation within the PT Barnum Housing Community. A crime scene was found near building six. A short time later, police said a 22-year-old Bridgeport man arrived at a hospital with gunshot wounds to his leg and hand. It was determined he had been shot at the PT Barnum Housing Complex. He is listed in stable condition.
Officers responded back to the PT Barnum Housing Community around 10:50 p.m. for a ShotSpotter activation with numerous reports of shots fired. A crime scene was found near buildings 12, 13 and 17.
