Police were notified of the Hamden shooting while a 22-year-old man was being treated for gunshot wounds in his arm and leg at Yale-New Haven Hospital at approximately 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 27 according to Hamden Police Captain Ronald Smith.
The victim was reportedly parked on West Easton Street, talking to a friend, when a silver vehicle pulled up beside him and five gun-toting men emerged from within.

The victim's friend then returned to West Easton Street, driving the victim to the hospital after seeing that he had been shot multiple times, police said.
