REVERE, MASS. (WHDH) - State police are turning to witnesses for help after a person was found shot in Revere on Friday.
Troopers responding to a reported shooting on North Shore Road near the Wonderland Ballroom around 5:20 p.m. found a 34-year-old man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound, according to police.
The male, who is from out-of-state, was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A preliminary investigation suggests the victim was in a vehicle when he was shot by an occupant or occupants in another vehicle.
Police are asking people who were in the area for help identifying what happened, particularly anyone who saw an alternation between cars at that time.
Cellphone video shows bystanders rushing to try to help the man moments after the shots rang out.
“I saw like two holes in the window,” one man said.
Other witnesses say they saw the victim slumped behind the steering wheel.
The manager of a nearby convenience store ran out and saw people trying to stop the blood coming from the man’s neck.
“I was here, and the other guy was in the middle of the road and they just rushed,” said Anik Rahman, who saw the response to the shooting. “He was like, trying to pull the door and he pulled off his shirt and tried to put it here because I saw he was shot in here. It’s scary it’s too scary.”
Route 1A was temporarily closed in both directions near Butler Circle causing major delays in the area.
“Pretty insane, at like 5 o’clock in the afternoon,” a neighbor Annette Mead said. “How do you do that in the middle of the day?”
The shooting shocked people who live in the area.
“I had my 2-year-old, my 9-year-old and my 2-year-old niece in the car,” said a neighbor Julianna Ayala. “It could’ve been one of us, we drove right past it five minutes before it happened.”
