Approximately 11:48 Bridgeport Police receveid a call of shots fired outside Ninety Acres Park next to Discovery Magnet School on Park Avenue. Police spokesman William Kaempfer told my by phone there was no evidence of a shooting but the school was placed on lock down as a precaution.  Police received four calls of the shots fired.

I spoke with witnesses who heard the shots. They were from a Yeshivah School in Brooklyn New York and they thought the wooded area was a shooting range and thought nothing of hearing consecutive gun shots. They didn’t realize there was a situation until police arrived and questioned them.

The students from Yeshivah Elementary were rock climbing outside the school when the shots rang out

and teachers from the Discovery School quickly ushered the students inside the school for safety.

A Silver Maximum and a White Grand Am were seen fleeing the scene immediately after the shots were fired but it is not known if they were related to the incident.

A perimeter was set up by Bridgeport Police around the area and police cars were seen parked outside John Winthrop Middle School and library on Madison Avenue behind the park.
