REVERE, MASS. (WHDH) - As police continue to investigate two separate shootings at Revere Beach that left three people wounded, new cellphone video shows the moment shots were fired during one of the incidents.
Video obtained from 7NEWS sources shows what police confirmed to be the first of two shootings that happened on Sunday, May 28, occurring around the corner from the Revere Beach MBTA stop on Centennial Avenue, a couple blocks from the beachfront.
In one video, a large crowd of young people can be seen taking part in some sort of scuffle when a man wearing a white tank top and gray shorts and sneakers pulls out a handgun.
Raising the gun over another individual in front of him, the man is seen firing multiple rounds into a group of people out of view of the camera.
Another video from a different angle shows people running away as the gunman raises his arms and begins shooting.
Police said a 17-year-old girl suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to her lower body and was later treated at Mass General Hospital.
The night’s second shooting occurred an hour later at 8:05 p.m. by a bathhouse on Revere Beach Boulevard.
A 7NEWS source said in that case, a woman washing sand off of her feet after a day at the beach was hit. The 51 year old was treated for gunshot wounds to her legs and is expected to survive.
A 17-year-old boy was also grazed by a bullet, but refused medical attention, according to authorities.
Speaking after Sunday’s incidents, those who live in the area were shaken by the violence.
“He shot so quickly, I don’t think he was really aiming at anything,” one person said.
“Every single Memorial Day, something bad happens down here,” one other person said. “It’s like the way we start off the summer, I guess, at Revere Beach.”
A Massachusetts State Police spokesperson told 7NEWS investigators are getting closer to making an arrest, after state and local police collected ballistic evidence and interviewed witnesses, in addition to reviewing the new footage.
Officials said police previously arrested a juvenile male “who came to investigators’ attention following the second shooting” Sunday night. He was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, but it is currently unknown if that person pulled the trigger in either incidents.
