Overview
- A motorist reported being shot at while entering Paxton from Worcester and pulled into the Paxton Public Safety Complex, police say.
- Officers stopped the suspect vehicle when it tried to turn around in the complex’s parking lot and detained three people, with no injuries reported.
- Investigators determined the victim’s car was struck on Pleasant Street in Worcester by what appeared to be a pellet gun, according to police.
- Worcester police are handling the investigation and have not released details about motive or the events that led up to the shooting.
- Because pellet and air guns can still cause harm, officials may pursue different charges than with firearms and the case could affect local enforcement and charging decisions as it develops.
