WALTHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - An investigation continued in Waltham Monday night after an early-morning shooting left one person dead and left bullet holes in multiple vehicles.
Both the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office and Waltham Police Department said officers were called to Lyman Street around 1:30 a.m. where they discovered an adult male suffering from gunshot wounds.
“Life saving measures were performed on scene,” a news release from the DA’s office stated. “The victim was transported to Lahey Hospital where he was pronounced dead.”
Investigators used a police dog and a drone at points as they searched for clues.
Police ultimately remained at the scene collecting evidence throughout much of the morning. By the time investigators left the area around 9 a.m., a vehicle could be seen nearby with a bullet hole marked off on a passenger door and a smashed rear window.
Cell phone video previously showed a truck also filled with bullet holes.
While a car and a truck, apparently belonging to neighbors, were towed away, the car with the shattered window was left behind and remained on scene as of Monday evening.
Speaking with 7NEWS, those living in the area were shaken by the deadly violence happening just a block off Main Street and close to a middle school.
“It’s very scary,” said neighbor Christine Jellow. “I thought it was safe around here, so I have to be careful.”
“I’ve been here for 23 years,” said Debbie Schreiber. “I can’t imagine what would have happened over there. I mean, it’s a great neighborhood. We love living here.”
According to officials, no arrests had been made in the case as of Monday morning shortly before 10 a.m.
The DA’s office asked that anyone with information on the incident call Waltham PD at 781-314-3550 or Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office at 781-897-6600.
