BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Police are seeking at least two suspects in a shooting at a crowded Connecticut house party that left 13 people wounded.
Bridgeport police believe the shooters were hiding behind bushes alongside the house and opened fire on more than 100 people while the party was going on early Sunday morning.
“People initially thought it was fireworks. By some witness accounts, even the DJ said, ‘don’t worry about it, it’s fireworks,’ until people started realizing they were shot,” Capt. Brian Fitzgerald said at an afternoon news conference.
Most of the victims, who range in age from 18 to 24, were wounded in their legs. By Sunday afternoon, only five remained hospitalized, including one woman who was listed in critical condition with injuries to her face and jaw.
