A 30-year-old Bridgeport man is in critical condition after police found him shot inside a car on Edwards Street near Reservoir Avenue in the city’s North End shortly before midnight Friday. The victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his wrist and thigh and was bleeding heavily when officers arrived. Patrol officers applied a potentially lifesaving tourniquet to his thigh before he was transported to St. Vincent’s Hospital for emergency surgery.
General Investigations detectives responded, and the Major Crimes Unit processed the scene. The Detective Bureau’s Non-Fatal Shooting Task Force is investigating. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Timothy Leonard at (203) 581-5253.
