1:55am–#Bridgeport CT– Three people were sent to the hospital after a shooting outside Pleasant Moments Oasis on William Street.  One person I know was shot in the leg and transported to Bridgeport Hospital by a private vehicle.  According to radio reports one woman was passed out and I head at the scene the third victim yelling my leg, my leg!  Police heard the shots prior to the calls to 911 and it may have come from the Washington Avenue Bridge area.

This is breaking news and I have not officially talked to police at this time.  All information is subject to change.  Check with WTNH-8 in the morning for updates.
