A man was shot in the abdomen after answering a knock at the door of his New Haven home around 11 p.m. on Sunday.

Police responded to a home on Sheffield Avenue after a woman reported her son had been shot in the chest.

When officers and EMTs arrived, they found a 36-year-old man who’d been shot once in the abdomen.

He told officers that he opened the door after someone knocked and the man standing at the doorway shot him.

The victim was taken by ambulance to Yale–New Haven Hospital, where he remains in stable condition.
