Police in Boston are looking for the person behind a shooting in Mattapan Tuesday evening that left a man in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Police said they responded to Baird Street shortly before 8 p.m. where they found bullet casings and shattered car windows.

The incident took place a block from a police station.

Investigators were seen interrogating a group of people on nearby Blue Hill Avenue.

One man who asked not to be identified told NBC 10 Boston he heard the shots while walking to the store.

“I heard about four to five shots,” he said. “I came back to my house and then you know I see all the police and I was like ‘oh wow, those are not fireworks, they’re gun shots.’”
