An off-duty Meriden police officer was shot at Thursday night at a townhouse complex in New Haven, where she previously worked as an officer, but she was not hurt.
The officer was driving out of the Essex Townhouses complex on Quinnipiac Avenue when she heard gunshots and saw a man on the sidewalk shooting toward her vehicle, New Haven police said Friday.
She found multiple bullet holes in the rear of the car, but she was uninjured, Capt. Anthony Duff said. New Haven detectives responded to the scene and recovered shell casings and “other evidence” that police did not describe publicly.
