BRIDGEPORT — A woman called police Thursday evening after her husband shot an alleged intruder at their home.

The accused intruder was found shortly after the shooting with a gunshot wound to the stomach, police spokesman Av Harris said around 11:20 p.m. Thursday. Dispatch reports indicated the shooting victim is 22-years-old.

“He was transported (to the hospital) as trauma two, which is non-life-threatening injury,” Harris said, adding that additional details would be released Friday morning.

Police raced to the 100 block of Rainbow Road around 8:30 p.m. after getting a call from a woman, reporting a shooting. Dispatch reports indicated that the man’s wife called 911 and said her husband shot someone at their Rainbow Road home.

As police were rushing to the area, another 911 call came into the dispatcher center — this time from the alleged intruder who had been shot. He told police he was at the intersection of Old Town Road and Reservoir Avenue, reports indicated. That intersection is down the street from Rainbow Road.

Several officers canvassed the area, searching for a gunshot wound victim for nearly 15 minutes. But the man was not at the intersection he had reportedly been near when he called 911.

Around 8:43 p.m., the gunshot wound victim was found in the 100 block of Barnum Avenue, Harris said.

The investigation into the shooting remains active.

Anyone who witnessed this or any other crime, can contact Bridgeport police at 203-576-TIPS.
