A Norwalk man was shot at approximately 7 p.m. Tuesday in the area of Chestnut Street and Concord Street. Norwalk Police responding to the report of shots fired found the victim in the area of 34 Chestnut St., bleeding from the leg, according to Lt. Timothy Murphy. The victim was on the porch of a house, with a non-life threatening gun shot wound, according to Lt. Paul Resnick. Norwalk Hospital Paramedics responded and transported the victim to the hospital.
A community policing vehicle had been parked in the rear of the King Kennedy housing complex, and the officer heard the shots, Murphy said. Police investigating the incident found a black SUV parked on South Main Street, its back window shot out. Murphy said it looked like the vehicle had been there for some time.
At least four police cruisers were at the South Norwalk train station after the incident, and officers questioned a person there. Murphy said the action was part of checking the area of the shooting.
The Detective Bureau responded and assumed the investigation. The crime scene was processed and viable evidence was located. The DB is pursuing several different leads in this active investigation, Resnick said.
