A 24-year-old man was hospitalized after a shooting outside a home early Saturday morning that may have stemmed from a fight at a Stamford Hilton party, police said.
It's not the first time a shooting has been reported at the home, Stamford police said.
Police found several shell casings and a pool of blood on the first-floor foyer of a home at 293 Fairfield Avenue but no victim initially when they responded at 2:38 a.m. on Saturday.
Forty-five minutes later, the victim checked into Stamford Hospital with two non-life-threatening bullet wounds in his legs, police said. He was treated and released later Saturday morning.
Sources told police that the victim was involved in a fight with many other people at a party at the Stamford Hilton hotel and that he and his friends left. While they were hanging out on the front porch of the Fairfield Avenue home, someone fired several rounds in their vicinity and hit the victim twice, the sources told police.
Investigators found six of the seven rounds and shell casings reportedly fired. Police are interviewing witnesses and reviewing business security surveillance videos as they work to track down the shooter.
The victim and people on the porch during the shooting are not cooperating with the investigation, police said.

"This residence has been notorious for police involvement and nefarious activity for the last several years," Stamford police said in a news release. "In November 2014 we investigated a Home invasion at this residence in which two shots were fired. Victims were uncooperative at that time and no arrests have been made."
Police ask anyone with information on the shooting to contact the department's detective bureau at 203-977-4417. Tips can be made anonymously.
