A 52-year-old man is in stable condition after being shot several times in a ‘home invasion’ on Elizabeth Street Saturday night.
Police responded to an apartment at 184 1/2 Elizabeth St. at 10:20 p.m., according to a statement from police.
Police had the area cordoned off at midnight.
“The 52-year-old male victim, whose name is being withheld for his safety, was shot several times by multiple perpetrators who entered his residence,” the police statement read.
The victim suffered at least two gunshot wounds, including one to the leg. He was losing consciousness in the ambulance as he was being transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital, according to emergency radio dispatches Saturday night.
However, police said Sunday he was in stable condition at Yale-New Haven.
The residence is above Altimari’s, which was open for business Sunday morning.
Cathy Andrews, a neighbor, told WFSB that she heard a popping noise, then saw police come out in force.
Police officers were still at the scene as of 8:53 a.m. Sunday.
No arrests have been made.
