Young – NB carjack police shooting

NEW BRITAIN — Police have arrested two teenagers wounded by police gunfire during a carjacking arrest last night.

Connecticut State Police said 18-year old Noah Young of Bloomfield has been charged with illegal possession of narcotics, possession with intent to sell, and risk of injury to a child.

They also said a 15-year-old juvenile male was issued a juvenile summons for carrying weapons in a motor vehicle, possession of a pistol without a permit, and possession of narcotics.

The arrests stem from a police shooting in New Britain Thursday night when New Britain Police attempted to stop a car suspected in several violent carjackings and robberies. Police said the driver drove the car towards the officers, and they fired their weapons killing one occupant and wounding the other two. Young was grazed by a bullet. He’s being held on $100,000 bail and will be arraigned Friday afternoon.

FOX61 News will have live reports on this developing story beginning at 4 p.m.
