“We are extremely alarmed by this reported act of violence. Our thoughts are with the driver as he recovers and we are reaching out to him to check in. We are continuing to look into this incident, and are standing by to assist law enforcement on their investigation however we can,” the statement read.
Amazon told NBC Connecticut the company is working with police. They said Vann has been suspended pending the investigation.
Vann was charged with attempted murder and he was held on $1 million bond. He appeared in court on Friday, where a judge set bond at $1.5 million.
The judge said, based on the evidence, it appears the shooting was unprovoked.
He is due back in court on Sept. 19 in Bridgeport.
