According to statements gathered by CNN<\/a> from Waterbury Police Chief Fernando Spagnolo, officers responded to the emergency call around 4:40 p.m. local time following reports of an altercation inside the mall.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, they found several people with gunshot wounds and a chaotic scene that led to the evacuation of the compound as a precautionary measure.<\/p>\n

The five victims, whose identities have not been made public, were immediately transferred to nearby hospitals.<\/p>\n

Although the health conditions of each have not been publicly detailed, it was confirmed that all are receiving medical attention.<\/p>\n

Police have reported no deaths so far.<\/p>\n

Who is the suspect?<\/h2>\n

Preliminary investigations point to a man in his 20s as the alleged perpetrator.<\/p>\n

It is believed that he used a semi-automatic pistol and knew the victims personally.<\/p>\n

According to Spagnolo, the attack was not a random act of violence, but the result of a dispute that escalated quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was not an attack directed at the general public,\u201d the police chief explained at a press conference in front of the Brass Mill Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no active threat at this time, but we are doing everything we can to locate the suspect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Response from the authorities<\/h2>\n

The Connecticut State Police have joined the investigation, providing technical and logistical support.<\/p>\n

The governor of the state, Ned Lamont, expressed his solidarity with the victims and their families through an official statement.<\/p>\n

Our hearts go out to the Waterbury community. We are committed to ensuring that the perpetrator is caught and brought to justice<\/p>Ned Lamont<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n

Authorities also thanked the mall staff and customers who quickly took shelter when the shooting began, following safety protocols that helped prevent a major tragedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they mitigated a lot of what could have been a really serious incident,\u201d Spagnolo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese acts unfortunately reflect the violence that persists in our society, but we must not normalize them or allow them to paralyze us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Brass Mill Center is a popular shopping center located off Interstate 84 in Waterbury, a city of more than 110,000 people, located about 30 miles southwest of Hartford, Connecticut’s state capital.<\/p>\n

This place is frequented by both local residents and visitors from nearby areas, including many members of the Latino community.<\/p>\n

Tips for the Hispanic community<\/h2>\n\n

If you live in the U.S., it’s important to be prepared for emergency situations like this. Here are some practical tips:<\/p>\n

Locate the emergency exits whenever you enter a shopping mall or enclosed public space.<\/p>\n

Pay attention to your surroundings and do not ignore suspicious discussions or behavior.<\/p>\n

Always follow the safety instructions of staff and authorities in the event of a shooting.<\/p>\n

If you can, participate in local community preparedness workshops offered by local authorities or churches.<\/p>\n

Report any useful information to the police if you were near the scene or saw anything relevant. Your testimony can make a difference.<\/p>\n

This incident is a painful reminder that no one is completely safe from gun violence, but it also demonstrates the importance of being prepared, united and vigilant in protecting each other.<\/p>\n

The investigation continues and it is expected that the perpetrator will be arrested soon.<\/p>\n
