LYNN β There were two confirmed shootings over the holiday weekend, but no victims have come forward.
Shortly after 4:30 p.m. Saturday, police responded to a report of gunshots at 379 Chestnut St. At least nine shots were fired, as nine shell casings were recovered, Lynn Police Lt. Michael Kmiec said.
A 52-year-old witness said he was walking outside when a man pulled out a handgun and fired numerous rounds at a blue vehicle driving past, Kmiec said.
No victims were reported at the hospital and police never received any reports of anyone getting hit. It was later reported to police that a house on Chestnut Street was hit, with one round going into the garage and two going into the structure of the home, but nobody was injured, Kmiec said.
The suspect is described as a man about 5 feet 9 inches tall. The incident is under investigation.
Shortly before 6 p.m.Monday, police responded to multiple shots fired into a home at 57 Cook St. Bullets hit the window and the siding of the house. Three shell casings were found, Kmiec said.
There were residents home at the time of the shooting, but nobody was injured. Itβs unclear if someone was firing at the house or at a person in front of the house, with bullets inadvertently hitting the home, Kmiec said.
No victims have reported being hit.
