One person was killed and another seriously injured in a double shooting early Sunday morning in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Police responded to Sturgis Street for a report of shots fired at approximately 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
Upon arrival, officers observed several people in the roadway and found a 28-year-old man on the sidewalk suffering from a gunshot wound.
The man was treated at the scene and taken to a nearby hospital where he is in serious condition.
When police began interviewing witnesses at the scene, they realized another man had been shot in the incident and was taken to an emergency room of a local hospital by his family.
The 23-year-old had then been immediately transported to another hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was pronounced dead Sunday morning.
There is limited information on the suspect at this time, but police say there are reports that a man came from the side of one of the homes in the area, fired several shots and then took off. There is no word on motive at this time.
