Police shooting in New Haven, Connecticut (USA)

A woman is in the hospital Tuesday after a shooting that involved police officers - with community outrage building over an official version that may be contradicted by citizen video.

According to Dorelus, Hamden cops were responding to a report that a man attempted an armed robbery of a newspaper delivery person at a gas station. They looked for a red Honda Civic the alleged assailant was driving.

They believe they spotted it soon after at Argyle and Dixwell across the border in New Haven.

Yale cops came to back up Hamden cops. New Haven cops were present.

A Hamden officer directed the male driver to get out of the car with his hands up, but he refused, and instead "exited the vehicle in an abrupt manner" and turned toward the officer, Dorelus claimed. At that point, both Hamden and Yale cops fired an unknown number of bullets.

At least one of those bullets struck a woman in the front passenger seat - or as Dorelus put it, she was struck "at least one time in the lower torso." She received medical attention on site, then was taken to the hospital, where she's listed in stable condition.
