The search is on for the person who shot and killed a man outside the Waterbury courthouse. The gunshots ranged out Thursday morning just after the victim finished court proceedings.
It started as a typical morning for attorney Ioannis Kaloidis with Kaloidis Law Firm, representing his client at the Waterbury courthouse.
“My client and I were in front of the judge moments earlier. He got a new date, his case was continued. I shook his hand and told him I’d see him in a couple weeks,” he said.
