BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Bridgeport police are investigating a shooting that killed a pregnant woman early Monday morning. 

Police said just after 5:30 a.m., they had received a ShotSpotter report from Washington Terrace. 

As officers were responding to the scene, there was another caller reporting two shooting victims in the same location. 

Both victims were taken to the hospital where the woman, 22-year-old Bridgeport resident Karla Bermudez, was pronounced dead. Police said Bermudez was pregnant and had suffered from multiple gunshot wounds. 

Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim released a video statement Monday.
