Here is gun arrest we first told you about when it was happening:
2019-08-29 @ 2:50pm–Nembers of the State/Bridgeport Gang Unit along with Statewide Narcotics and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force were conducting surveillance in the area of Stratford Avenue. While in this area Task Force Officers saw a known group of East-end Gang members loitering on the corner of Stratford at Wilmont Avenues. As they were approached one male, later identified as Stanley Gill DOB 5/22/2001, he saw the police vehicle and reacted by breaking away from the group. TFO saw this reaction to his presence and attempted to make contact with Gill. With this, Gill grabbed his waist area and took off, running on Wilmont through back yards towards Carrol Avenue. Task Force Officer relayed that he saw the firearm Gill was carrying as he was now in foot pursuit. Task Force Officers covered the area along with Patrol and Bridgeport Detectives. A perimeter was established by all responding units.
