State Sen. Paul Cicarella (R-North Haven) issued the following statement on Saturday’s shooting:What we saw this weekend is disturbing and I worry that it is part of a growing level of violent crime across our state that is endangering lives and demands action. Every day we read about car thefts that perpetuate other violent crimes or result in the injury of innocent bystanders from collisions on our roadways. Enough is enough.

I spoke to police chief Kevin Glenn after learning about yesterday’s shooting. He shared with me his concerns about the alarming increase in crime in our communities. Connecticut needs to address this rise in crime head-on as a call to action.

It’s clear that current policies are not enough to prevent and stop crime. Violent crime is threatening our cities, towns and families. Current policies are not sufficiently addressing the juveniles who are involved in crimes to deter them from going down this path, or to have the proper consequences or rehabilitative plans in place when crime occurs. We’re at the point that crime has reached an epidemic proportion.”
