Eric Salters, of New Haven, was shot by a lone assailant around 11:30 a.m., Jan. 26, at the school, 510 Barnum Ave., said Terron Jones, spokesman for the Bridgeport Police Department.

At the time of the shooting, police said the attack was captured by nearby cameras and shows the suspect, who is still at large, walk up to Salters as he was walking to his car and shoot him at least six times.

A student at the school, Salters was transported to Bridgeport Hospital. He was unconscious upon arrival at the hospital and never regained consciousness, Jones said.

On Monday, Bridgeport detectives were notified of his death, Jones said.

An autopsy will likely be performed later this week at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Any person with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Jorge Cintron at 203-581-5227 or call the Bridgeport Police Tips Line at 203-576-TIPS (8477).
