In the early afternoon on Tuesday, police in Stamford’s Oaklawn Avenue suburb found themselves in a tense standoff after an unknown individual barricaded themselves inside a house. Video from the scene shows about thirty‑five shots fired in two distinct bursts—roughly fourteen rapid rounds followed by an additional twenty‑round volley. The officer behind the loudspeakers tried to calm the situation, but the shooter remained silent inside the building.
A dramatic clip that caught the attention of the public was posted on X, where an officer in the background can be heard shouting, “Back up, shots fired!” The footage later revealed the police yelling “Get in your car … Get out of here!” as they attempted to break the standoff.
Police officials have not identified who fired the shots, though they confirmed that the initial situation posed no immediate danger to nearby residents. The officers now advise people to avoid the intersection of Oaklawn Avenue and Dartley Street as they continue their investigation.
The address in question, 263 Oaklawn Avenue, is listed in court documents as a foreclosure target, a detail the outlet reported alongside the incident.
