A Fairfield County man who was shot twice was later arrested on two active warrants while at the hospital.
The incident started around 2 a.m., Tuesday, July 6, when the Bridgeport Emergency Operations Center received a shot spotter activation in the 500 block of Noble Avenue - two rounds. Minutes later patrol officers were notified that a person had been shot at that location.
The victim, identified as 37-year-old Mario Cruz of Bridgeport, was suffering from what appeared to be two gunshot wounds. He was quickly transported to an area hospital and treated for non-life-threating injuries.
Bridgeport detectives responded to the hospital and crime scene. Interviews were conducted, the scene was photographed, and evidence was collected, said Captain Kevin Gilleran.
