Police Investigate After Man Is Shot, Killed in Stratford

Stratford Police are investigating after a man was shot and killed early Saturday morning.

Officers were called to Regency Terrace around 2:20 a.m. after getting a report of a shooting.

When police arrived, they said they found a man who had been wounded by gunfire. He was taken to Bridgeport Hospital, where he later died. Officials have not released his identity.

A preliminary investigation revealed that two men were sitting in a parked car on Regency Terrace when they were approached by two men on foot.

Officers believe the men exchanged words when one of the men showed a gun and fired at least one shot, hitting the victim, who was in the car.

The two men on foot fled the area, officers said.
