Shooting Does Not Appear to be Random

RANDOLPH — Chief William Pace reports that the Randolph Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred in town Wednesday afternoon.

The incident occurred around 1:36 p.m. in a parking lot behind the apartment complex located at 28 Reed St. Randolph Police received multiple reports of a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg.

When officers arrived, they found a 26-year-old male Randolph resident with a gunshot wound to the upper thigh area on one of his legs. The man was taken by a Randolph Fire Department ambulance to a Boston hospital. His injury is believed to be serious, but non-life threatening.
