On January 15, 2026, at 1:12 PM, Norwalk Patrol Officers began investigating a report of a shots
fired inside of an apartment on East Wall Street.
Patrol officers spoke with the complainant, who reported that Christopher Bromfield had discharged
a firearm inside the apartment during the overnight hours. The investigation revealed that Bromfield
fired the weapon while the complainant and a one-year-old child were present inside the apartment,
in a separate bedroom.
Members of Norwalk Police Department Emergency Services Unit Tactical Response Team
responded to the apartment complex. Bromfield was located exiting the parking lot in his vehicle
and was taken into custody without incident. Officers recovered a .45 caliber semi-automatic
handgun from Bromfield’s possession, along with 37 rounds of ammunition located inside his
vehicle.
Norwalk Police Detectives subsequently applied for and were granted a search and seizure warrant
for the apartment by Stamford Superior Court. During the execution of the warrant, detectives
recovered and seized four magazines fully loaded with .223 caliber blank ammunition, a rifle, a
pellet rifle, and six boxes and an ammunition container containing various ammunition.
Bromfield was transported to Norwalk Police Headquarters, where he was processed.
