NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A New Haven man is recovering from life-threatening injuries after he was shot through his kitchen window, police said.
Around 10:15 p.m. Sunday, ShotSpotter alerted New Haven police officers to 36 gunshots in the area of Level Street near Brookside Avenue.
A short time after the alert, officers were called to Lodge Street on the report of a person shot.
The man was rushed to Yale-New Haven Hospital by EMS, and police were told he had a life-threatening gunshot wound. The man is now in stable but critical condition, officials said.
Mayor Justin Elicker told FOX61 that the victim is a 26-year-old man. He was struck twice in the head.
Detectives from the New Haven Police Department's Major Crimes Unit and Bureau of Identification also responded to the scene for evidence and to speak with witnesses.
Investigators learned that the man was sitting in the kitchen of his home when the bullet traveled through the window and struck him.
Elicker told FOX61 News that the shooting was likely a targeted attack, though he could not answer if the victim was the intended target.
"There's no indication that this was a random incident where someone was just shooting," he said.
The shooting is under investigation, and the New Haven Police Department is asking for the public's help in solving this incident.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the New Haven Police Department Investigative Services Division at (203) 946-6304 or through the department’s anonymous tip line at 866-888-TIPS (8477).
