Firefighter Fatally Shot in Ex's Home Invasion

Early Saturday, March 28, a fatal shooting occurred in Stratford when Jabari Bush allegedly forced his way into his ex-girlfriend's home. Bush, 41, reportedly confronted his ex-girlfriend and a man in her bedroom, then punched her before firing a weapon.

Terrence Cramer, a 41-year-old Bridgeport firefighter, was struck by a bullet during the incident. First responders found him critically injured, but he was pronounced dead at the scene despite their efforts. Cramer was known for his bravery and dedication, nearing a decade of service.

Authorities reported that Bush had displayed concerning behavior post-breakup, including harassing texts and workplace visits. He was apprehended later that afternoon following a short vehicle pursuit by the Stratford Police Department. Bush faces multiple charges, including murder and home invasion.

Cramer is survived by two young sons. In tribute to his commitment, flags throughout Bridgeport were ordered to be flown at half-staff.
