Underage Party Broken Up After Shots Fired

Around 10:15 Monday night police on patrol heard 10 to 15 shots fired in Marina Village. Police arrived to investigate. K-9 was called in and shell casing were found outside 558 Gregory Street. No person or property was hit by the gunfire.
When police arrived they reported on the police radio that there were four unresponsive people inside. Neighbors told me that the building had a mold issue and vacant. An ambulance was sent but no one was treated or transported.

What it appears is that this was a large gang recruitment party according to witnesses. A large group of 20 to 30 teens were seen being told by police to go home. Police radio traffic indicated there were a total of 5 men and women arrested. Two guns were recovered in the incident. I have not spoken to police but have an e-mail into them for the official word. If I get any further information I will posted it on DoingItLocal.com

Shots fired- Bridgeport teen arrested

Police investigating a report of shots fired Thursday arrested  a 19-year-old with a loaded gun.

At about 3 p.m. Thursday, Officers Anthony Caiazzo and Alfred Cesar were on patrol in the area of Bassick High School when they heard four or five gunshots. They heard from a witness that after the loud bangs a man in a black hooded sweatshirt ran down Colorado Street.

They also learned from a Bassick security guard that the shots happened in the area of Wentfield Park. As they checked the area, they observed a Pontiac Grand Prix occupied by three males with a fourth standing at the driver’s window.

When the fourth man saw police, he walked off briskly. He didn’t get far.

Officer Keith Hanson and Sgt. Paul Grech, who were heading to back up the other officers, detained the man, later identified as Devonne Anthony Scott, of 575 Maple St.

He was questioned by the officers and stated that he was on special parole for a robbery conviction. He bent over to show the officers his ankle bracelet and when he did the officers observed the breast pocket on his jacket sagging heavily.

Police recovered a loaded 9mm pistol with 15 live rounds in the magazine.

Scott was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a permit and altering the serial number or a firearm.
