Bridgeport (WTNH) - Police in Bridgeport are investigating another deadly shooting in the Park City. It's the fourth homicide in less than a week.

 

None of the shootings appear to be connected.

"They were not random shootings at all," said Capt. Lynn Kerwin, Bridgeport Police Department.

Capt. Kerwin says all of the victims were the intended targets. The most recent shooting happened 2:30 Thursday morning at the Terrace Housing complex. The victim was shot dead behind parked cars near building 10.

"When police arrived the party was deceased," Capt. Kerwin said.

The series of unrelated violence began last Saturday. A murder-suicide on Atwater Street claimed the lives of a former boyfriend and girlfriend who had a history of domestic violence.

The next deadly shooting was on Tuesday at a housing complex on Highland Street. A 33-year old city man was killed there

Then on Wednesday morning a shooting on Capitol Avenue killed a man.

No arrests have been made in any of the killings.

"We have a gotten a lot of calls, a lot of leads," Capt. Kerwin said.
