11:23pm–#Bridgeport CT– Just before 11:30pm police received a call of shots fired at the Sunnyside Inn at 174 Lake Street. Radio reports said a white short female entered a room and then about 5 shots were fired. Police on the radio pleaded for the medics to “step it up”. Paramedics were in the room for over fifteen minutes but left without a patient. Police and detectives would not comment and police spokesperson Av Harris would only confirm by text of shots being fired. Local and state police radios confirmed a shooting at the Inn and the descriptions of the vehicles that fled the scene. I went back to the scene at 2:30am and two police cars remained at the entrance with the crime scene tape still securing the scene on the second floor. A short time later EMS was called back to the Inn for a woman in room 15 suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and was having difficulty breathing.
