12/26/25 8:00 PM: Trumbull Police Officers responded to a dispute at the Trumbull Mall late Friday afternoon and found that a gun had been fired inside the mall. Officers learned that several teenagers, who were all known to each other, got into a heated argument while walking through the shopping center outside the Macy’s store on the upper level. One of the teens displayed a handgun and fired at least one shot, but did not strike anyone.
Numerous 911 calls were received by Trumbull Police at about 5:45 p.m. reporting the disturbance at the mall, which is located at 5065 Main Street in Trumbull. Traffic exiting the mall for the 6:00 p.m. closing time was delayed while officers searched for the suspects who were involved in the incident.
From the preliminary information gathered, officers and detectives believe the suspects were able to quickly escape from the shopping mall but were following several leads.
The investigation was continuing with the help of numerous witnesses and various evidence that was collected from the scene. No one was injured as a result of the gunfire.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Trumbull Police Department at (203) 261-3665, extension “0.”
