CHELSEA, Mass. — A driver who had a one-year-old baby in the car was shot at several times in Chelsea, officials say.
Law enforcement members responded to a shooting on Route 1 southbound in the area of the Carter Street off-ramp in Chelsea at around 7:40 p.m.
At the scene, officials found a man who had sustained a non-fatal wound.
State Police are actively investigating this incident.
As officials investigated the area, the southbound side of Route 1 in that area and the Carter Street ramp had to be closed down for a period of time. The roadway and ramp have since been reopened.
According to the Chelsea Police Department, this whole incident may have started after words were exchanged in Saugus.
Police believe three men shot into another car while riding down Route 1. The car was hit three times and pulled off onto the Carter Street off-ramp.
One person was injured after being grazed by one of the bullets and were taken to a local hospital. They are expected to survive. No one else was hurt, including the child in the car.
