SALEM, MASS. (WHDH) - Three people were arrested in connection with a shooting in Salem on Monday, officials said.
Ronnie Cato, 19, of Dorchester, John King-Marshall, 18, of Quincy, and Richardson Frederic, 18, of Somerville, were each charged with armed assault with intent to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, possession of a large capacity firearm, and possession of a large capacity feeding device, according to Salem police. Frederic was also charged with possession of an untraceable firearm.
Officers also found two of the guns police believe were used in the shooting, according to the Salem Police Department.
Shots were fired around 6:55 Monday morning on Albion Street, in Salem’s Gallows Hill neighborhood, authorities said.
“It was pretty scary on the street, and I think it’ll bring some comfort to most everybody on the street,” said John Goodwin, a concerned neighbor.
Investigators say three men were getting into an Uber when three other men fired dozens of shots. No one was injured.
“It was a frightening thing for everyone who lives here,” said Goodwin. “We don’t wanna see that in the neighborhood.”
Police do not believe the shooting was random.
“I think the violence is needless, I think they were kids… I don’t know what their motives were,” said Goodwin.
All three suspects are being held without bail and have a hearing scheduled for next week.
