NEW HAVEN, Conn — No students or staff were injured after shots were apparently fired in the parking lot of the John C. Daniels School New Haven following dismissal on Wednesday. 

Officials said the shots were fired in the parking lot of the school after most of the students and staff had left for the day. Those present at the school were unaware of what had happened. All staff and students were safe. Police informed school officials that the shooter had cleared the immediate area. 

Police said Thursday that 10 fired cartridge casings were found on Baldwin Street near the playground, and three more casings were found at the intersection of Baldwin St. and Davenport Ave.

Video surveillance footage shows footage of a car driving through the area and shooting at the occupants of another car, police said.

Police will conduct more patrols in and around the school grounds.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call detectives at 203-946-6304 or through the department’s anonymous tip line at 866-888-TIPS (8477).
