Man arrested after allegedly firing shots inside Woburn home

WOBURN, Mass. — A Hyde Park man was arrested in Woburn after police say he fired shots inside a home early Friday morning.

Woburn Police responded to reports of shots fired just before 2 a.m. on 7 Samoset Road.

As responding officers canvassed the scene, the suspect jumped out of a window and fled on foot. A State Police K-9 unit helped respond and track the suspect two streets down in the shed of a nearby home.

Police arrested Andrew Neal, 43, and charged him with three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, obliterated serial number of a firearm, discharging a weapon within 500 feet of a dwelling and warrant for larceny of a motor vehicle.

Authorities say more charges could be added.

While a gun was recovered, K-9 units are still searching for a magazine.

No injuries were reported.

Neal is expected to be arraigned later on Friday.
