LAWRENCE, MASS. (WHDH) - Lawrence Police are investigating a drive-by shooting that left two women with serious injuries, Saturday night.
Police say they responded to a commercial building on Swan Street in Methuen for a report of multiple people who had been shot in Lawrence and had come to the location seeking assistance.
First responders located the victims, a 19-year-old Haverhill woman and a 20-year-old Sandown, N.H. woman. The first responders began to administer emergency medical services.
One victim had been shot in the leg and was taken to a local hospital, according to police. Officials said the other victim had been shot once in the head and was taken by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital.
