A 19-year-old Holyoke resident who was shot multiple times, including once in the abdomen, was treated at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, according to Holyoke Police Lt. Larry Cournoyer.
HOLYOKE — A teenager was shot multiple times Tuesday night and taken to a hospital by a vehicle seen fleeing the area of Maple and Sargeant streets in the city's Churchill section, police said.
"He is alive," Holyoke Police Lt. Larry Cournoyer said of the 19-year-old male, who sustained gunshot wounds to the abdomen and other parts of his body.
Police received a report of shots fired at 10:37 p.m. in the vicinity of 446 Maple St., which is near the corner of Sargeant Street, but the victim was gone when officers arrived.
A black pickup truck was seen fleeing the shooting scene, and a short while later a truck matching that description dropped off a gunshot victim at Holyoke Medical Center. Cournoyer said the victim was transferred to Springfield's Baystate Medical Center, where he was treated for multiple bullet wounds and is expected to survive.
No arrests had been made as of early Wednesday. The incident is under investigation by Holyoke detectives.
