Worcester Police Investigate Afternoon Shooting

WORCESTER (CBS) – Two juvenile males have been arrested in connection with a shooting on Hope Avenue in Worcester on Friday afternoon.

An off-duty Worcester police officer was driving by when the shooting happened and saw the suspects leaving the scene, with one of them putting a gun down their pants.

The officer followed the suspects and caught one while an officer on duty arrested a second suspect after a brief foot chase. Each suspect had a handgun, according to police.

While the pursuit was happening, a Worcester man was dropped off at an area hospital and treated for what appeared to be a gunshot wound.

The two suspects who were arrested face firearms charges.
