MERIDEN, Conn. Meriden Police are investigating the Saturday morning shooting of a man on South Colony Street.
Police say at 9:50 a.m., they received numerous calls of shots fired in the area of South Colony and Cooper Street, with reports that a male had been shot. Arriving officers saw a vehicle leaving the area at a high rate of speed; they were able to stop it and discovered that the victim of the shooting was in the car and being transported to the hospital. Emergency services responded, began treating the victim, and transported him to an area hospital. Police say he had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his leg.
Police say the driver kept hitting the police cruisers and injured the five officers.
“A couple of them were on foot, a couple of them were still in the vehicles,” Mckay said. “The driver then recklessly put the car in drive on a third attempt to get away at which time he struck another cruiser while one of our officers was attempting to get out of that car. At that time our officer was pinned between the driver side door of the cruiser and the frame of that vehicle.”
A judge set Camacho’s bond at $750,000.
“I’m sorry that what my stepson did but I don’t think he meant it,” said Joanna Adorno following the hearing. “From the bottom of my heart, I don’t think my stepson meant to hurt those people. I think he really got scared because of what everything happens in this world.”
