Last night at approximately 6:30pm south end officers were sent to the 100 Block of Pleasant St. after a neighbor reported hearing shots fired inside a third floor apartment. Upon arrival, officers followed a blood trail from the driveway area up to the third floor apartment and upon knocking, received no answer.

Officers then forced their way into the home and found more blood and a couple of spent shell casings. No one was found inside.

Shortly thereafter, police received a call from Tobey Hospital security in Wareham stating they had a gunshot victim who claimed to have been shot in New Bedford but did not know where. (He had given them conflicting statements)

The 29 year old male victim, with addresses in Wareham and Boston was later transported to Rhode Island Hospital with non life threatening injuries. He suffered a gunshot wound that went through his right leg and into his left leg. He also suffered a second gunshot wound to the left hand.

After being interviewed by New Bedford detectives, he continued to give conflicting statements regarding the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Paul Fonseca at 508-991-6300 ext. 79507 or leave an anonymous tip at 508-961-4584.
