LYNN–Shots were reportedly fired by a person riding a motorcycle on Newhall Street on Tuesday.
The gunshots were reported at 2:30 p.m., and when police responded, they found several spent shell casings on the corner of Newhall and Farrar streets, Lynn Police Lt. Rick Donnelly said.
No victims came forward, but a witness told police that someone riding a motorcycle fired several rounds. Donnelly said there was no evidence that the shots were fired at people, and there is no description of the suspect.
Minutes later, a call came in for a dumped bike on Ocean Avenue. When police went to the lot at 32 Ocean Ave., they found a motorcycle that may have been the same one driven by the suspect. It was towed to the police station. Officers also recovered a handgun from the dumpster nearby, Donnelly said.
