Gunshots were fired at the house of the New Haven Public Schools assistant superintendent Dr. Paul Whyte on Friday night, according to a statement from New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker.
The mayor says no one was injured from the gunfire, though the home sustained some damage. He says he visited Whyte and his family after hearing about the shooting.
Mayor Elicker says this incident "stresses the important work we are doing as a city to stop gun violence in both the short-term and long-term."
