The incident took place in New Haven County around 10:15 p.m., Sunday, May 14 in the area of Level Street near Brookside Avenue in New Haven.

New Haven Police officers were dispatched to the area after a ShotSpotter indicated some 36 gunshots in the near, said Capt. Rose Dell, of the New Haven Police.

When officers arrived they were told a man had been shot, she added.

The victim was immediately transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital by ambulance, and medical staff informed the police that he suffered a life-threatening gunshot wound.

Investigators have learned that the victim was sitting in the kitchen of his home when a bullet traveled through a window and struck him, the captain said.

The New Haven Police Department is asking for the public's help in solving this incident, Dell said.
