NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A youth was shot early Sunday morning, and he walked himself into the hospital.
Police said at 4:36 a.m. Sunday, they received a call from Yale New Haven Hospital that a gunshot victim had walked into the hospital at 20 York Street.
Medical personnel told police that the victim is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries. The victim had a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Police said the youth told officers that he was shot in the area of Printers Lane. After being shot, the victim said he walked to the hospital, a distance of a little more than a mile.
