One person was shot in a brawl outside a West Haven pub early Saturday morning.
West Haven police responded to the Central Pub at 555 Campbell Avenue at 2 a.m. on Saturday to investigate a report of a person shot.
Police chased after a grey BMW leaving the scene as they arrived and the car crashed into another vehicle at Campbell and York Street. The second vehicle fled the accident site. Police are not looking for the second car and do not believe that it was connected to the shooting.
Officers found a 21-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the abdomen inside the BMW. Police learned that the man was shot in a fight that broke out within a big crowd in the parking lot as the bar was closing.
The driver of the BMW told police that his friend was shot in an altercation at the pub.
An ambulance transported the gunshot victim to Yale-New Haven hospital. West Haven police said he has not been cooperative.
Police said the victim underwent surgery but did not have information on his condition Saturday morning.
