SOMERVILLE, MASS. (WHDH) - Somerville police have launched an investigation after bullets were fired into two apartments Tuesday evening.
Officers were called to Memorial Road around 7 p.m. for reports of shots fired and upon their arrival found shell casings scattered across the roadway, according to a release issued by the department.
