MILTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A 43-year-old woman was hospitalized after she was shot in Milton Thursday morning, police said.

At around 7:45 a.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting on Belvoir Road, where they found a Milton woman suffering from multiple gunshot wounds inside a vehicle, according to the Milton Police Department.

A witness told 7NEWS a child jumped out of the car, screaming for help.

“The kid was like ‘call 9-1-1! Call 9-1-1! Call 9-1-1,'” said witness Ronald Benjamin.

Witnesses report hearing tow or three rapid gunshots before the shooter took off.

The woman was taken to a Boston hospital for treatment, authorities said. She is currently recovering.

No arrests have been made, according to Milton police.

The incident remains under investigation, but it does not look like a random act of violence, police said.

The search for the shooter led to a brief lockdown at Tucker School.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the detective division of the Milton Police Department at 617-898-4809. People can also report to an anonymous tip-line at 617-698-2677.
