Shots Fired On The Highway

Apr 7, 2019 Stephen Krauchick

2019-04-07 @ 5:28pm --#Bridgeport CT-- Earlier I reported that a gunshot victim arrived at St. Vincent's Hospital. It turned out that his car was shot at on I-95. Early reports on the police radio said the hospital was reporting he was a gunshot victim. I later learned that he had glass sprayed onto his face when his windshield and passenger side window was shot out. A viewer messaged me that they saw a police investigation on I-95 near exit 27a. I was unable to investigate this as I was assaulted by the security guard at St. Vincent Hospital while on a public sidewalk. I want to thank the Bridgeport Police Officers who came to my aid as he twisted my…

Fairfield News: Smoke Condition Inside Assumption School

Apr 7, 2019 Stephen Krauchick

2019-04-07 @ 2:49pm--#Fairfield CT-- Firefighters were called to Assumption School at 605 Stratfield Road for an activated fire alarm. Firefighters found a moderate smoke condition in the basement. They determined that a thermal limiting switch on a grease trap failed to disengage. Assistant Fire Chief George Gomola said the alarm did its job of alerting of the smoke condition and that within the hour had the alarm not sounded there would probably have been a fire.

Safe to Tell Act Promotes Creation of School Threat Reporting Programs

Apr 7, 2019 Stephen Krauchick

Washington, DC— Today, Representative Jim Himes (CT-04), along with Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-25) and Anthony Gonzalez (OH-16), introduced the Safe to Tell Act. The bill creates a grant program for states to develop systems, such as telephone hotlines, mobile applications, or websites that allow people to anonymously report potential threats to schools. “Too often, in the wake of a school shooting, we look back at the behavior of the killer and see that there were warning signs that went unreported,” said Himes. “People notice things that don’t seem quite right, or that put them on edge, but don’t know how or where to report it. The Safe to Tell Act creates ways for people to share their concerns of potential…

Assisted Suicide Defeated

Apr 5, 2019 Stephen Krauchick

Family Institute of Connecticut is pleased to inform our members that the assisted suicide bill has "died in Committee" for the fifth time since 2013. Assisted Suicide was on the Public Health Committee's agenda last Friday, March 29th, but was "held" for lack of votes. Then it was put back on the agenda for Monday, April 1st, and again "held" for lack of votes! It was at this point that Rep. Jonathan Steinberg, the Committee Chairman, declared defeat, an announcement covered by the press. Nevertheless, the bill was not officially dead until Wednesday, April 3rd, at 5 pm, the Committee's deadline. In an abundance of caution, FIC deliberately waited until now to bring you news of this victory. Rep. Steinberg and "Compassion and Choices," the national pro-assisted suicide group,…
