BROCKTON, Mass — Two people are in custody after a brazen daylight shooting outside Brockton District Court left two people injured on Monday afternoon.
Officers responding to a report of a shooting at 215 Main Street around 12:30 p.m. found a man and woman suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, according to the Brockton Police Department.
