Riverhead Police are investigating a reported burglary and the possible link between a “warning shot” fired by the River Road homeowner and a shooting victim who was taken to Stony Brook from a Calverton Hills condominium late last night.

A River Road resident yesterday afternoon reported someone had broken into his shed and stole tools, according to Riverhead Town Police. A police report was filed documenting the incident. Then just before 10 p.m. last night, the resident called police again to report that a man was burglarizing the shed. Upon police arrival, the owner of the residence reported that he went outside with a shotgun and fired a warning shot at the burglar, according to the police report. The burglar fled and he followed the subject to the Calverton Hills area of Calverton, the homeowner told police.

A short time later the Suffolk County Police Department was contacted and advised that there was a victim of a shooting in Calverton Hills, Riverhead Police said. He was transported to Stony Brook Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. There is an ongoing investigation to determine if the two incidents are linked.
