11:36pm–#Bridgeport Connecticut– A man was shot after crashing into parked cars in the 900 block of Howard Avenue.   Witnesses told me there were about 5-6 shots fired from what sounded like different guns.  The man shot walked almost a city block to 858 Howard Avenue where he collapsed on a porch.   Firefighters were called to the scene to illuminate the rather large crime scene which is blocked off.

 

At about the same time of this call shots were fired from a silverish sedan on Central Avenue.  The two shootings are not related.
