Authorities in Billerica, Massachusetts are investigating a shooting incident that occurred Thursday afternoon.
Police say they received a call on Thursday after a man got out of his vehicle and shot his gun several times at a townhouse complex on Boston Road.
The incident caught residents in the area off guard.
Steven Beachy has lived in the complex for seven years and does not remember any other incidents like this happening in the neighborhood.
Beachy is a licensed gun owner and can't believe anyone would fire into the open.
"It's a little bit disconcerting when someone is willing to get out and shoot in a main fairway," he said.
Beachy says he is surprised but not alarmed.
