Proof of Bridgeport Hospital Lockdown Sunday

Jun 18, 2012 Stephen Krauchick

Yesterday we reported as it was happening that Bridgeport Hospital was in a lockdown after two men displayed weapons in the emergency room.  I first heard it on the Bridgeport Police radio but held back making it public just in case it was a false report or over reaction.  At 7:30pm American Medical Response told all ambulance to avoid Bridgeport Hospital until further notice.  At 7:33 Fairfield Police made a announcement to all their patrol officers and that is when we went public with the information.  Many broadcasters said Bridgeport Hospital said they were not on lockdown.  On the 5:30pm news on WTNH they said Bridgeport Hospital said no person ever displayed a gun at the hospital.  We then ask,…

An dispute between boyfriend and ex-boyfriend got dangerous when the boyfriend shot at the ex-boyfriend early Monday afternoon.  Detective Keith Bryant told me that threats were made on Sunday that they were going to fight, but that never happened.  The ex-boyfriend showed up today to help the girlfriend's family take out a pool in the backyard.  The boyfriend showed up and began arguing when he took a shot at the ex.  One shell casing was found in front of the home.  The boyfriend fled in a gray Volkswagen Jetta but was stopped a short time later by police.  The gun was found in the car and the man was taken into custody.
