Trumbull Police arrested a thirteen (13) year-old Bridgeport resident for firing a handgun during a dispute at the Trumbull Mall in December.

He was charged with Attempted Assault 1st Degree, and Illegal Discharge of a Firearm, Reckless Endangerment 1st Degree, as well as other related crimes.

Police Confirm Gun Fired During Teen Dispute at Trumbull Mall; No Injuries Reported

Trumbull Police have confirmed that a firearm was discharged during a dispute involving several teenagers at the Trumbull Mall late Friday afternoon. Officers responded to numerous 911 calls around 5:45 p.m. reporting a disturbance on the upper level of the mall near the Macy’s store.

According to police, the teens—who were all known to one another—became involved in a heated argument while walking through the shopping center. During the dispute, one individual displayed a handgun and fired at least one shot inside the mall. Authorities confirmed that no one was struck by the gunfire and no injuries were reported.

Traffic exiting the mall around its 6:00 p.m. closing time was delayed as officers searched for those involved, who are believed to have fled the scene quickly. The investigation remains ongoing, with detectives following multiple leads and reviewing evidence collected from the scene. Due to deteriorating weather conditions and heavy shopper traffic, Trumbull Police were assisted by mutual aid officers from Bridgeport, Fairfield, and Monroe. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Trumbull Police Department at (203) 261-3665, ext. 0.

An anonymous witness reports that a single gunshot was fired during a brief fight inside the Trumbull Mall Friday evening.

According to the witness, the incident occurred around 5:35 p.m. when a group of teenagers came up the escalator from the food court toward the front of Macy’s and began yelling. Several individuals allegedly threw punches, and during the altercation one person reportedly pulled out a black semi-automatic handgun and fired a single shot, which struck the ground.

The witness stated they did not see anyone injured or observe any signs of a gunshot wound victim. Police were reported to be on scene shortly after the incident, but all involved parties had fled prior to their arrival.

Photos shared by the witness reportedly show a shell casing and the location where the bullet struck the ground. The witness requested to remain anonymous.

At this time, no information has been confirmed by authorities, and there have been no official reports of injuries.

This story remains developing. Thanks everyone for sending in anonymous video and pictures of the altercation.
