At approximately 7:21 PM on June 25, 2025, a ShotSpotter Activation was made for 12 rounds near the 40-50 block of Sheridan Street. Responding patrol officers located a crime scene and two victims presented themselves at Bridgeport Hospital. Victim 1, age 26 and victim 2, age 18. Both victims are recovering from surgery and were previously listed in critical condition. Members of the Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) canvassed the area, processed the crime scene, and conducted interviews. Anyone with information on this shooting is encouraged to call the Bridgeport Police tip line at 203-576-TIPS. The lead CGIC DB investigator is Timothy Leonard.
Around the same time, another party, victim 3 age 24, also showed up at Bridgeport Hospital with a gunshot wound. It was determined that victim 3 was shot in a separate incident around Newfield Avenue and Clifford Street. Evidence was also recovered in that incident and being examined. This incident is being investigated by the DB CGIC with Detective Palatiello as the lead detective.
Chief Porter’s remarks on the shootings:
“As many of you know, overall crime in Bridgeport is down. That includes a noticeable drop in shootings — and that’s due to the hard work of our officers, community partners, and residents who continue to step up and speak out.
But despite that progress, last evenings two separate shooting incidents — where three people were injured — are a sobering reminder. Gun violence is still very real, and we cannot afford to let our guard down.
We take every shooting seriously. Each one impacts a family, a neighborhood, and the larger sense of safety in our city. That’s why we’re staying aggressive in our response — through targeted enforcement, neighborhood patrols, and continued collaboration with community leaders.
Let me be clear: Bridgeport is safer today than it was a year ago, and much safer than five years ago — but safer doesn’t mean safe enough. We still have work to do and we need the community with us. If you know something about these incidents, say something. Help us hold those responsible, accountable.
We’re committed. We’re focused. And we’re not letting up. Thank you.”
