REVERE, MASS. (WHDH) - A 32-year-old man was shot and a 52-year-old man was injured when a family argument took a violent turn in Revere Tuesday night, police said.
Officers responding to a disturbance between family members on Oxford Street around 10 p.m. found one person suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg and another who had been assaulted with a weapon, according to Revere Police Chief James Guido.
The person who was shot allegedly tried to run away and flag down help on Park Avenue.
“One of the victims stopped a car and tried to get a ride to the hospital, I believe,” Guido said.
Both victims were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital and are expected to be OK.
One neighbor recalled the moment he heard the gunshots.
“I heard something like fireworks,” Fabian Grubesic said. “I came (outside) and saw a lot of police cars. I heard about four pops.”
Guido says everyone involved in the altercation knew each other.
The incident is being investigated by Revere police with the assistance of the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Revere Police Criminal Investigation Division at 781-286-8340 or Suffolk County State Police at 617-727-8817.
