LYNN — Multiple Lynn Police Officers responded to a report of shots fired near Shepard Street and Warren Street on the evening of Sunday, Aug. 3.
Several police officers arrived at the scene at 32 Shepard Street at approximately 6:57 p.m. Sunday. There, they located a male victim suffering from a gunshot wound on his thigh. The man, who is approximately 45 years old, was described as “conscious and alert” when Lynn police officers arrived at the scene and administered medical aid, according to Northeast Massachusetts Emergency Alerts.
Lynn Police Department Lt.

Upon being transported to the facility, the victim was reported to be in stable condition, according to the Lynn Police Department.
Lynn Police Department officers at the scene also responded to the incident Sunday by taping off the area at Shepard and Warren to keep residents away from the area, establish a crime scene, and gather further evidence for the case.
