The suspected shooter is in custody, and the New Haven police chief is calling the injured officer “courageous." In a video released by the Connecticut Inspector General, Officer Chad Curry is attempting to apprehend a man in an orange shirt early Friday morning. Police said he was running away from the scene of a car crash. As Curry approaches the suspect, the man begins shooting. The officer then gets out of his cruiser and exchanges fire with the man, later identified as 36-year-old Jose Claudio. The officer was hit in the ear and shoulder, but wasn’t seriously hurt. “[He] put himself at risk significantly in order to protect himself and the community,” New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker said. Curry was taken to the hospital and then released. New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson said the officer was doing well and in good spirits.
