GROVELAND, MASS. (WHDH) - Authorities are investigating after police say shots were fired at a motorist Tuesday in Groveland.
Officers received a report about 3:30 p.m. from West Newbury police that a woman had both her vehicle’s front windows blown out while driving on Main Street in Groveland, according to a press release issued Wednesday by the Groveland Police Department.
Police say the driver was near Shanahan Field when the windows shattered and that she continued driving home to West Newbury.
The driver said that while she traveled west on Main Street, her passenger side window suddenly cracked before completely shattering, according to police.
Police say the woman suffered several cuts and bruises from the broken glass.
“My first reaction was to look at the house to see if there was a bullet hole,” Groveland resident Andy Robinson said. “I have kids, my dogs, a bird. I couldn’t imagine if it came in the house.”
Following further examination of the vehicle Wednesday, investigators uncovered what appeared to be a 9mm hollow point pistol round on the driver’s side.
No weapons were found at the scene, and residents did not report anything suspicious, according to police.
“This is a very frightening situation that is uncharacteristic for a town like Groveland,” Groveland Police Chief Jeffrey Gillen said in a statement. “We are actively investigating to determine the facts and circumstances behind this incident, and we are asking anyone who may have heard or seen something out of the ordinary to call the Groveland Police Department.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Groveland police at 978-521-1212.
