BURLINGTON — Gunshots were fired from a vehicle Wednesday evening into 31 Hyde St., a multifamily home in the Old North End, according to police.
No one was injured, but Police Chief Brandon del Pozo told the Burlington Free Press that a bullet passed through the door of a family with a 5-year-old and 7-month-old as they were sitting down to dinner.
Del Pozo did not return multiple calls for comment Thursday.
The shooting is under investigation. Police said the shots were fired from a red SUV and are asking for members of the public to come forward with any information about the shooter or the incident.
The chief told the Free Press he suspects the shots were directed at an apartment where home invasion robberies have occurred previously.
Mayor Miro Weinberger issued a statement saying shootings have no place in Burlington and that no family should have to go through the experience of having bullets tear through their home.
“Moreover, this event is likely drug-related and another reminder of the urgent need for focus, commitment and coordination by all agencies that have a role in addressing our serious opiate challenge,” the mayor said.
