NEW HAVEN, Conn — New Haven police are investigating a shooting at a 7-Eleven early Thursday morning.
Around 2 a.m., police were called to the area of 400 Foxon Boulevard after reports of gunshots being fired into the 7-Eleven building. When officers arrived at the scene, they were met with a chaotic scene but determined that no gunshot victim(s) were present.
One person sustained minor cuts to their face from shattered glass and received care from an ambulance for minor lacerations, police said.
Eyewitnesses told police a BMW was seen parked in the lot, followed by a grey Honda Civic, which pulled in a short time afterward. Several passengers from the Honda Civic entered the store, dressed in dark clothing and armed with handguns. While inside the store, the BMW pulled up near the entrance, and one passenger exited and began firing shots at the individuals inside, resulting in a return fire.
Police said four fired cartridge casings were found in the parking lot, and several projectiles and casings were found inside the store.
All parties involved fled the scene, according to police.
