One teenager has been arrested and police are searching for another after gunshots were fired near an apartment complex in Burlington, Massachusetts.
Shortly after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, police say they received 911 calls about a car crash near Building 5 at the Avalon apartment complex on Arboretum Way. A short time later, another call came in about shots fired in the area.
No one was injured, but investigators are now confirming the two incidents are related.
Police said Wednesday afternoon that a 16-year-old had been arrested. Authorities have identified another suspect and obtained an arrest warrant, but that person has not been taken into custody.

Two months ago, police were called to the same area after two people fired shots into the same Avalon apartment complex.
In that incident on Aug. 2, police said 21 shots were fired by two men, from two separate weapons, outside the apartment complex. They said that shooting appeared to be targeted. No injuries were reported.
Police said the two men then took off in a stolen vehicle, which was later recovered in a nearby neighborhood. It's unclear what the motive may have been, and whether any arrests have been made.
The police chief said there’s no reason to believe last night’s incident is related to the incident in August – but they’re not ruling anything out.
