Aisha KuilanSPRINGFIELD – Detectives are probing a Monday night shooting in the North End that sent three men to Baystate Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries and left 18 shell casings on the ground.
Police said the shooting was gang-related. It occurred shortly before 10:45 p.m. at Greenwich and Huntington streets after a verbal argument turned into a brawl, Sgt. John M. Delaney said.
While the three were being treated at Baystate, a large and unruly crowd gathered inside the waiting room. Police arrested a 17-year-old city woman after she refused to leave the hospital grounds.
The suspect, Aisha Kuilan, of 176 Centre St., became violent and swung at the officers, Delaney, aide to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said.
“She was yelling, swearing and flashing gang signs with her hands,” Delaney said.
Kuilan was charged with being a disorderly person, Delaney said.
Police were able to speak with one of the victims, a 21-year-old who had been shot in the ankle, but he was not cooperative.
The other two victims, ages 21 and 20, respectively, were shot in the abdomen and the chest, Delaney said.
