Springfield, Mass. (WGGB) — Springfield Police are investigating a shooting incident in the area of Fernwold Street in Springfield.
Lt. John Bobianski says, “Just before 5 p.m. Tuesday a man on St. James Avenue flagged down a police cruiser saying he had been shot in the back.”
The call received by police at 4:58 Tuesday afternoon was for shots fired on Fernwold Street, the 36 year-old man was found just up the road on St. James Avenue.
The victim, who was shot twice, has been taken by AMR to the hospital. Sgt. Arpin told us, “He is in stable condition and went into the operating room.”
While authorities are still looking at the circumstances surrounding this incident, what we can say is that a number of shell casings have been found, so multiple shots were fired on Fernwold Street.
Arpin adds, “We are searching for a sky blue, 4 door vehicle that according to reports fired approximately 10 shots and then fled towards St. James Avenue.”
Prior to the shots fired, Arpin went on to say, “A male, wearing a gray hoodie, stepped from the passenger seat of a different colored vehicle and threatened someone out front. That is when the sky blue vehicle showed up.”
Police are not releasing the victim’s name and report he’s uncooperative right now. Authorities are not sure if he was the target or just an innocent by-stander.
No suspects have been arrested yet in connection with this shooting.
The Wild West is back!!!! Let’s have a shootout at the OK Corral.
Mayor Sarno better clean up Springfield before the casino issue
Did you ever stop to think that a casino may bring more jobs to the area with a 9% unemployment rate. The crime rate isn’t going to be effected by a casino by that much. If u want to cut down on crime stop making it so easy for the Spanish islanders to settle here and sponge off our system. It’s a fact the crime rate grew when the peurto ricans got here. They treat the streets of Holyoke and Springfield like San jaun.
I couldn’t of said it better. Not many neighborhoods left for them to destroy.
What a cesspool…can’t wait to sell the house and get out of here. This slum has to be a thousand times worse than living in a fort on the Frontier. Could never imagined that this place is so bad.
starting a little early tonight…………
thats why i dont go to springfield, burn it down and start over
then go to holyoke and repeat
Don’t worry, clergymen are taking up the cause
LOL
Its not racist its truth. Go to the Springfield courts Monday thru Friday. It’s crawling with Spanish immigrants. Look up any crime story on WGGB 80% of the people doing the shooting or robbing or the home invasions have had a Spanish last name. There are a lot of respectable Spanish families in this area but the majority of them came here for a free meal ticket and have to much time on there hands.
You hit the nail on the head. Politicians need to “stop helping” us middle class. If they address the people who don’t work, that may help us. God Bless America!
Yeah. Isn’t this supposed to happen at night? Or perhaps on the weekend?
I’m not racist for saying that Spanish population has played a significant roll in the crime rate here. That is fact.
Casino doesn’t belong in Springfield. Mayor Sarno is on crack. Casino in Springfield means higer crime
Plus since the south end was ruined before the tornado, it would drive more of the scum from the south end into our neighborhoods.
in borad daylight? do what u gotta do but please realize a stray bullet could hit an innocent.
ding ding ding! ^
Survival of the fittest, all these shootings are related by drugs and gangs. I say let them kill each other.
AND YOU THINK THEY ARE DRUG & GANG RELATED Y…PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME LAUGH WITH YOUR LACK OF EDUCATION
…HAHAHAHAHA
Let the white flight in Springfield continue, more bang for my buck to purchase a nice home. I dont have an issue getting an alarm and a gun for these bargain basement prices.
Mynameischris why u talking to much ****.. that s raisit WGGB should delete ppl wen it comes to raisit….
What is a rasist
rasist
use spell check
@ my nameischris go shoot yourself!!!! It’s society alone has nothing to do with Spanish islanders …,
Hello……what planet do you live on? Read the paper, watch the news, sit in the front of your home and watch and listen to the people riding down your street with the music blaring..throwing out their trash on your lawn all day and night.
@my nameischris learn how to spell SAN JUAN and just to let u know a lot of us puerto ricans are US CITIZENS just in case you didt know….., your a racist bigot trash!!!!
Become a state and pay taxes like the other states do. Take a ride down to Bond Street. One window to get a replacement SS card. All others are for the room full of young to middle age non speaking clients. Also, all the placards and signs are in spanish….WHY?????
Heather learn to read. I never said this crime was committed by a Hispanic male. I said the increase in crime had a large part to do with the increase in it. Please tell me how I am wrong! To to court it’s full of pr’s. Look at the police log. It’s full of Spanish last names. Again, I’m not racist I’m a realist. I don’t hate the spanish race. I didn’t make up those names and write the story or committ the crime. The evidence validates my theory
All of Puertorican are us citizen!!! No es justo q por ALGUNOS boricuas paguemos TODOS! Se refiere a TODOS los SPANISH ISLANDER…hay crimen en todas partes y por diferentes nacionalidades….I wrote it in Spanish because I’m from that SPANISH ISLAND!
Go Home, love us or leave us. Bye Bye.
It don’t even mention that the shooter was a SPANISH ISLANDER
Yea yea at Chris lets talk about the serial killers shooting at schools movie theaters area collegess all wHItes cus they plan it well let alone all these corupted cops commissioners and who knows what else stealing from the city of Springfield..
while others are stealing legally….welfare, food stamps, ssi, public housing, free college.
CABRON !!!! Lmao
Who want to come to a crime riddled city that has a casino.
For fear of being shot, robbed or your car hijacked!!! Right now they need more police to be hired to clean up the streets of Springfield. As for the clergy, they are going to wave a bible at the thugs and tell the to mend their ways or they will go to Hell. Boy that will stop crime.
Really all this starts at home. When there is no supervision where do kids go, to a gang. What does a gang do, drugs, steal, shoot people or get shot. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ask surrounding communities about crime near the casino, Mohegan Sun in Ct, for example two bodies locked in a truck and burned in a car behind a shopping center for gambling debts in Waterford CT a few years back!!!
