BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut (WTNH) – Police report two women were attacked with a firearm as they left a hookah lounge in Bridgeport early Sunday morning.

The first victim of the attack, a 47-year-old woman, checked herself into the emergency room at 4:50 a.m. with a cut on her neck. Police rushed to the hospital and shortly thereafter, a second victim, a 33-year-old woman, came to the emergency room with the same injury.
