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.
