Resident tells council a senior's home was struck in a multi‑shot incident, urges cameras and patrols

During public comment at the Feb. 3 Middletown City Council meeting, Stephon Pryor described an incident he said occurred June 11, 2026, at a home on 15th Avenue in which he said "approximately 50 shots" were fired and shell casings were recovered. Pryor said a senior occupant was inside the home, was not injured, and that the incident had not received media coverage; he asked the council and police to respond with added patrols and cameras.

"There was a senior woman inside the home ... and when bullets came through her front door, she was not injured," Pryor said. He urged council members to prioritize safety measures, including walking patrols and cameras, and asked the media to cover the incident in order to help locate suspects.

Council Member Mulligan asked staff for a police update in the coming weeks so the public can be informed of investigative progress. The meeting record shows no police response given at the meeting; Pryor's assertions about the number of shots and other details are based on his account in public comment and were not countered or confirmed at the hearing.
