REVERE, MASS. (WHDH) - Authorities are searching for a suspect who triggered a SWAT response after shooting and critically injuring a man in Revere on Thursday night.
Troopers responding to assist Revere police officers with a shooting on Dehon Street in the Shirley Avenue neighborhood around 7:15 p.m. found a shooting victim in critical condition, state police said.
One witnessed described seeing the victim on the ground.
“He was on the ground and his buddy was like over him, holding his chest,” he recalled. “He looked like he was already fainted or something.”
The victim was rushed to the hospital as a Revere police SWAT team searched 9 Dehon St. for the suspect.
