Trumbull Gardens is Bridgeport, Connecticut's largest housing project, with more than 400 households, and it's the location of two shootings in the past month, including one that killed one person and injured eight others.
At the time, Trumbull Gardens resident Karen Bracey said she felt like the city wasn't paying attention.
"I am," she said on the morning of June 12, the day after the shooting. "But I can't do it by myself. I need the police department's help."
This week, Bracey said she'd seen change. The Bridgeport Police Department opened a new substation on the bottom floor of a high-rise on Trumbull Avenue, the main thoroughfare of Trumbull Gardens. Along with that, the project is getting ten security cameras that will be monitored by police. And police say they've increased foot patrols in the area, too.
"Other people are now concerned about Trumbull Gardens," Bracey said. "It's a shame that a tragedy had to happen for that to happen. But all in all I'm glad they're doing what they're doing now."
