Waterbury, CT Mall Shooting Press Conference: A Missed Opportunity for Accountability

Republished with permission from AbleChild

In the wake of a tragic shooting at the Brass Mill Center mall that left five injured, the community of Waterbury, CT, turned to its leaders for answers. Instead, residents were met with what many described as a public relations infomercial rather than a serious discussion about the incident and its implications.

During a press conference, Governor Ned Lamont and Waterbury officials took the podium not to address pressing questions—such as the failure of active shooter drills, the circumstances surrounding the 19-year-old shooter Tajuan Washington’s release on bond, or the whereabouts of the firearm used—but rather to advocate for new grants aimed at conflict resolution programs. As the event unfolded, it became increasingly clear that the focus had shifted from the immediate concerns of safety and accountability to promoting behavioral health initiatives and securing funding for nonprofit outreach.

This pivot raises critical questions: Why did state leaders choose to leverage a community tragedy as a platform for financial gain? Why were inquiries into the suspect’s concealed police history or the missing weapon sidelined in favor of fundraising efforts? For many in Waterbury, the press conference felt less like a moment of mourning and accountability and more like an exercise in damage control—an opportunity to redirect attention to funding rather than addressing the underlying issues that led to this violence.

Until local officials confront these hard questions and provide genuine solutions, the trust of Waterbury’s residents in their leaders and law enforcement will likely continue to erode.
