Survivors of the shooting told investigators that another vehicle pulled up to their SUV and fired into it on I-391 south near mile marker 2.6, police said. They pulled over and tried to flag other vehicles down to help, but when none did, they drove to the hospital themselves.

Two people were shot, police said. A 35-year-old man died after undergoing surgery.

Investigators took evidence from the road and were continuing to investigate as of Wednesday morning.

The people in the SUV who survived the shooting haven't been cooperative, according to the Hampden District Attorney's Office, which confirmed it was investigating the shooting, and that investigators found the scene of the shooting Wednesday morning between exits 3 and 4 of the highway.

Last month, a man was fatally shot on I-95 in Foxborough. No arrests have been announced in that shooting, though Massachusetts State Police have released video of a vehicle suspected to be involved.

Authorities released this new video of a car suspected in the unsolved Feb. 3 shooting on I-95 in Foxborough that left a man dead and sent a family to the hospital. Follow NBC10 Boston on...
