Connecticut Man In Custody For Allegedly Pulling Gun On Two Women For Not Expressing Gratitude For Him Holding The Door

In Hamden, Connecticut, police took an angry 25-year-old into custody after he allegedly pulled a gun on two women because they didn’t tell him “thank you” for opening the door for them at a Family Dollar on Saturday around 3:15 p.m.

A news release claimed

that local police responded to a call about the suspect reportedly pointing a gun at customers in front of a Family Dollar store located at 1245 Dixwell Avenue. A witness told officials that Joshua Murray’s bitterness stemmed from him not receiving a “thank you” for holding the door open for the women. No one was injured.

Upon searching the area, Hamden Police discovered Murray on Helen Street with the gun and arrested him — officials claimed he “interfered with officers during his arrest.”

Murray was charged with carrying a firearm without a permit, two counts of second-degree Breach of Peace, and resisting arrest. His next appearance in Meriden Superior Court is scheduled for Aug. 2, 2022. He was held on a $25,000 bond.

The names or identities of the two women victims have not been disclosed. And it’s uncertain if the police got in contact with them.

Situations like these are why women fear for their lives in this world.
