That bullet is now lodged in the face of a man who has asked not to be identified. He was home with his family when he noticed a growing crowd yelling near Park and Wood avenues late Tuesday. He and his family took cover.
"At first it was like machine guns, then it was pop. Pop pop pop pop. They were really having a shootout here. It was crazy," he said.
Not even the metal door could keep them safe.
"This is a solid door, metal door and that bullet went through it like nothing, like paper," he explained.
The injured man believes the wild shootout was sparked by people who do not live in the neighborhood.
Police are looking for multiple shooters and they are asking for help from the public to solve this case.
Anyone with information is asked to call the case officer, Detective David Garcia, at 203-581-5233 or the Bridgeport Police tips line at 203-576-TIPS.
