Bridgeport Hospital Incident
I received several texts and messages asking about the police presence. Bridgeport Police said at “3:04 PM, someone called 911 to report that a guy at Bridgeport Hospital had a gun and threatened to use it on someone else there. The Bridgeport Police went to check, but they didn’t find any gun, and nobody got hurt. The Police department confirmed that there was never a gun involved at any point during the incident.
Two sources told me that it was a man threatening his girlfriend and that he was arrested for threatening and violating a protective order.
Remembering Pearl Harbor
Mayor Ganim, along with other city officials and veterans commemorated the 82nd anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. More than 2,300 U.S. servicemen were killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Those in attendance were handed a slip of paper with the name of a servicemember to remember that individual killed in that attack. I was to remember Navy Water Tender 1st Class Stephen Pepe, 43, who was on the USS Oklahoma when it was hit by Japanese torpedoes. His body was found and identified by DNA in 2018, 77 years after his death.
Crash Shuts Down Route 8
State Police Update:
On Wednesday night in Trumbull, a Norwalk man named Daniel Demichael, 34, lost his life in a collision between his Jeep and a merging Toyota Supra on Route 8, as reported by state police.
A child in the back seat of the Jeep suffered minor injuries in the incident. The crash happened around 8:25 p.m. on Wednesday in the southbound lanes of Route 8 near Exit 8.
According to the investigation, Demichael was driving his 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in the right lane of Route 8. At the same time, a driver from Bridgeport in a 2021 Toyota Supra was merging onto Route 8 from the southbound side of the Merritt Parkway’s Exit 52 entrance ramp.
The collision occurred as the Supra merged into the right lane, impacting Demichael’s Jeep. This caused Demichael to lose control, crossing the left lane and colliding with the center median of the highway.
The Jeep then collided with a metal beam guardrail, continued through the barrier, and Demichael was ejected from the vehicle, according to state police.
