NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — New Haven police were on scene conducting a shooting investigation Wednesday night at Union Station after a man was shot multiple times.
The altercation spilled out of an MTA train and onto the platform at Union Station, where the man was shot at about 8:35 p.m.
Officials initially said the shooting happened on the train, which was heading from New York City. They later said that it happened between the tracks 12 and 14. The victim then got onto a nearby train.
Police do not believe the shooting was random.
The victim was in critical condition at the hospital, as of about 10:30 p.m., according to New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker.
New Haven police are looking for two male suspects. Their descriptions were not immediately available to the public. New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson said there is video footage of the two.
