LYNN, MASS. (WHDH) - A woman driving in Lynn over the weekend had a close call when she said a bullet went through her car door, almost hitting her.
Lorraine DePetro, who grew up in Lynn and now lives in Georgia, was visiting family in Lynn and running errands when she said the bullet smashed through her window and hit her seat. The bullet lightly grazed her arm, leaving a welt.
The police called DePetro’s sister Kristin Melendez, who said she was panicked when she got the news.
“I was just hoping she wasn’t dead,” said Melendez.
Apart from the welt on her arm, DePetro was uninjured. Police said this was one of at least seven shootings reported in Lynn over the weekend.
“A lot of people are afraid to go out at night now because of what’s going on and it’s like, why let them rule your life? This is our city,” said Melendez.
