Two people were injured Wednesday in a shooting in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Security cameras captured the moment gunfire erupted Wednesday on Main Street in Worcester, Massachusetts.

A man was shot on the sidewalk in the middle of the afternoon.

"I heard a bang," said Greg Creagh. "Next thing I know, I hear another bang. A kid come around the corner, grabbed a pole and fell on the ground."

The shooting took place on a block of small businesses that includes a restaurant, a barber shop and a salon.

One of the bullets shattered a salon window. Another smashed a parked car.

"I heard four loud explosions," said Ron O'Clair, who lives above the shooting scene. "Under my window, 'boom, boom, boom, boom,' that's what I heard."

The man who was shot could be seen limping, then staggering toward other people.
