A 20-year-old man was grazed by a bullet outside a Newhallville housing complex Monday evening, police said.
The shooting took place at 6:42 p.m. outside Presidential Gardens at 573 Dixwell Ave. The victim told police that two men on bicycles opened fire at him in the driveway, then fled. One bullet grazed his forehead. The wound was not life threatening.
Store Owners Sentenced
A Hamden couple who swindled the federal Food Stamp Program was sentenced in federal court in Bridgeport Monday. The couple owns and operates the Lucky 7 corner store at 253 Davenport Ave. in the Hill.
Abdul Hakim Musaed, 45, and Nadia Ali Haider, 29, pleaded guilty to “one count of conspiracy to commit Food Stamp fraud,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s office. He was sentenced to four months in prison. She was sentenced to four months’ home confinement.
The couple allowed Food Stamp recipients to buy ineligible items, including beer and cigarettes, as well as redeem their food stamps for cash, from a period between Aug. 2005 and Jan. 2007, according to court records.
U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall ordered the couple to pay the government over $56,000 in restitution.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector General, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Henry Kopel.

ummm, the parents are more culpable than the store owners in my estimation. they shouldn’t even be collecting handouts, they should be working to support their kids, like god and nature intended.

and i should also add that this food stamp hustle will continue regardless. the hustlers simply go buy lobster, king crab, shrimp, and porterhouse and then either sell the items or trade them for drugs.
if you don’t believe me, go watch the high end items at c-town or ferarro’s tommorow (the first of the month when the food stamp ebt card gets “recharged”). those items will be flying off the shelf.
