A 22-year-old pregnant woman was shot and killed and a man was injured when gunfire rang out as both slept in bed early Monday, a Bridgeport spokesperson said.

Police were apparently alerted by a ShotSpotter activation shortly after 5:30 a.m. Monday to a residence on Washington Terrace and found two victims who were shot and treated on the scene before being transported to St. Vincent’s Medical Center.

Karla Bermudez, who was more than halfway through her pregnancy, was shot four times and later died at the hospital, as did the unborn child. Witnesses said that Bermudez didn't live at the house, and was just staying over at her boyfriend's place for the night.

A 23-year-old man was also shot, but sustained a non-life threatening injuries, the Director of the Bridgeport Office of Emergency Management & Homeland Security Scott Appleby said, adding that the man is uncooperative at this time. Police were still working to get more information on possible suspects.

No arrests have been made, as police continue investigating the incident. Currently, Bridgeport Police detectives believe that both victims were sleeping in bed when multiple gunshots were fired from the street into the house, striking both of them, Appleby said.

Two other adults were in the home at the time of the shooting but were not injured, according to Appleby.
