LYNN, MASS. (WHDH) - Lynn police have launched an investigation after bullets were fired into a city elementary school.
Staff arriving at Hood Elementary School on Monday morning found that the annex of the building had been hit by gunshots, police said.
Bullet holes could be seen in the screen of a window, as well as in the wood paneling of the extension.
Police say they believe the shooting happened sometime over the weekend.
There were no reported injuries.
One neighborhood resident told 7News she woke up to the sound of gunshots ringing out around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday.
She says she thought they were fireworks at the time and didn’t realize they were gunshots until she spoke to police later in the day.
Anyone with information is asked to call Lynn police.
