A shooting in Brockton, Massachusetts is under investigation after a bullet pierced the outer wall of the Catholic Charities building and flew inside while workers were inside Tuesday afternoon.

They work tirelessly to help the vulnerable people in Brockton, but a shooter put Catholic Charities in a vulnerable situation. Police say around 1:47 p.m., gunshots were fired near the food pantry and elder outreach building on Court Street.
