Shop owner, gunman shot in East Haven holdup attempt



Joseph Gigliotti, owner of New Haven Provisions, 850 Foxon Road, underwent surgery at Hospital of Saint Raphael in New Haven Thursday night, police said. His condition was not immediately available.



Gigliotti shot one of the three robbery suspects in the shoulder during the fracas, police Sgt. Robert Flodquist said. That man, whose name was not immediately available, was in surgery at Yale-New Haven Hospital, Flodquist said.



The injured suspect and a second suspect, who police said drove the injured man to the hospital, were arrested after Yale-New Haven police reported that two men matching descriptions East Haven had broadcast had turned up at the hospital, one with a gunshot wound, Flodquist said.



A third suspect fled on foot. New Haven police later arrested him on Eastern Street in New Haven, not far from the New Haven-East Haven border, Flodquist said.
