BRIDGEPORT -- A city police officer shot two people Monday evening, wounding a woman in the face and seriously injuring her male companion after confronting them in a Boston Avenue parking lot, police said.
State Police and inspectors from the State's Attorney's Office rushed to the scene and took over the investigation. Neither the name of the officer nor those of the two shooting victims were immediately released. Police said the male victim, who was shot in the torso, was undergoing surgery at Bridgeport Hospital.
Police sources said that around 7 p.m., the officer confronted two people who were behind a silver car in the parking lot of the Bayview Plaza, next to Burger King. A post office is on the parking lot at one end, and there also is a rental store and a beauty supply store. All were closed at the time shots were fired.
It was not clear what led to the shooting, and state police were not commenting Monday night.
Local police cordoned off the shooting scene, in one area of the parking lot and stood by until state police arrived. Under state law, the local state's attorney is in charge of investigating shootings by police officers.
Employees of the Burger King were escorted to their cars by police and would not comment on the shooting.
(Yah, OK, you just go home now, and you didn't see a fucking thing, right? - Officer Friendly)
