A New Haven firefighter underwent surgery Sunday after someone shot him in the parking lot outside Cody’s Diner on Water Street.
The firefighter was struck in the stomach and leg around 3 a.m. in what is at this point believed to have been an attempted robbery, police said.
A “Good Samaritan” found him lying on the ground and provided first aid before he was rushed to the hospital. He was listed in “critical but stable condition” later Sunday.
