Gunfire Fails To Wake Some In Revere Neighborhood Overnight
REVERE (CBS) - Revere Police are looking into an overnight shooting that left a car damaged, but apparently didn't wake many residents.
Officers were called to Proctor Avenue near Valley Road early Tuesday morning and found a car with a rear windshield blown out and the front one cracked. No one was hurt and there have been no arrests at this point in the investigation.
Some residents were shocked, not just that it happened in their neighborhood, but that they slept right through the gunfire.
"I woke up it was about 12:05 and I looked at the clock and what I heard I thought was fireworks. But now I'm wondering, could it have been the shooting?" resident Ann Tritto told WBZ-TV.
At least six other neighbors told WBZ's Gary Brode they didn't hear the shots either.
However, one couple was seen on surveillance video down the street from the shooting coming to their front door moments before the gunfire. Police believe a fight may have escalated before the shooting started.
"It's very unusual. This is a very, very quiet neighborhood, street it's just beautiful. I've been here 40 some odd years and you don't even hear neighbors yelling at each other," Tritto said.
The damaged car was towed away.
No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
