BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) - (WHDH) — An abandoned, bullet-riddled SUV was found in the parking lot outside Brockton Hospital after a 21-year-old man was dropped off to be treated for gunshot wounds early Thursday morning, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of gunfire in the area of 47 West Chestnut St. around 1:40 a.m. found 25 shell casings nearby on Fulton Street and a Volkswagen with windshield damage in a driveway on Tremont Street, according to the Brockton Police Department.
Upon learning a man was undergoing treatment at the hospital, investigators spoke with security officers who said they noticed a shot up Dodge Durango leave the area after the victim was dropped off at the emergency room.
