SOMERVILLE, MASS. (WHDH) - Somerville police are searching for a drive-by shooter who opened fire at another vehicle in what one neighbor described as a “quiet residential neighborhood” on Monday night.
Officers responding to a reported shooting on Greenville Street around 9 p.m. determined that someone in a car had fired a gun at another vehicle, striking a car window and a nearby home, police said.
Two roommates who live in the home say they were inside when a bullet shattered their window and hit a wall.
“Where the bullet went through is actually right behind where I sit and read every night,” one of the roommates said. “It went right through, right behind actually like where the back of my head would have been.”
One neighbor recalled hearing the gunshots, saying that they sounded like fireworks.
“It was probably about eight or 10 going off really quickly,” he recalled. “I rushed to the window and saw that car where it is right now.”
The suspect vehicle drove away from the scene, prompting a search by police.
“I’ve lived here a little while and there is never anything like this,” the neighbor said. “It’s just a quiet residential neighborhood.”
There were no reported injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call Somerville police.
