Shots Fired in Everett – NBC Boston

Police said shots were fired on Sunday morning in Everett, Massachusetts, with at least one stray bullet hitting a woman’s home.

Apparently no one was injured in the incident. While initial reports suggested that it may have been an attempted kidnapping, the police found during their investigation that those involved knew each other.

Everett Police responded to the Shute Street and Russell Place area after receiving a report of gunfire that fired around 11:30 a.m. and later located the affected vehicle.

Massachusetts State Police used a saw to remove the bullet-struck siding from Vanya Pereira’s home on Shute Street.

Pereira was at work when the shots fired Sunday morning and hit her house, but her home camera recorded the sound.

“It’s literally in the driveway, like where I park,” described Pereira.

Pereira believes a car was the intended destination.

“When I got home I was talking to my neighbor and they basically said they saw a woman and a man jump into a car, they heard some gunshots,” she said. “It appears as if the person was trying to shoot the vehicle on foot and the girl appeared to be agitated, as if she were making movements with her hands, as if to let us go, hurry up.”

A neighbor said he was looking through his window when he saw the girl in the car shake her hands.

“Like telling him to hurry,” he said.

Police are still looking for the shooter but say this is an isolated incident and there is no threat to the neighborhood or Everett city.
