SPRINGFIELD - A woman was shot in the lower leg on Quincy Street in the Old Hill neighborhood at about 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, and police are looking for suspects, said Capt. William Collins.
The injury was not considered life-threatening, he said. The woman, whose name was not released, was being treated at Baystate Medical Center Tuesday night.
Collins said police are trying to piece together what happened and look for suspects. He said he was waiting to receive field reports from officers on the scene and did not have much more information.
The initial report had witnesses telling police that a Jeep Cherokee fled the scene, Collins said. Police stopped a vehicle matching that description a short time later, and the occupants turned out to be relatives of the victim and were not involved in the shooting, he said.
