Shots reportedly rang out in Lowell late Wednesday night, just about a mile from the Chelmsford line.
The incident took place at 58 Midland Street, which is located off of Chelmsford Street. Maps indicate that the home is about one mile, or a drive of about three minutes, away from the Chelmsford town line near Market Basket.
MyFoxBoston.com reported that the incident took place at a birthday party. The news organization indicated that four people were shot, and investigators found seven shell casings at the scene.
According to a Lowell Sun report on the shooting, one woman was shot in the chest just before midnight, though the newspaper said it is unclear if the woman's injuries are life threatening.
Neighbors told The Sun that there had been a party at the home throughout the evening, but there were no issues asides from noise coming from the area.
