6 people shot after fight breaks out at Fourth of July party in Brockton

BROCKTON, Mass. — An investigation is underway after six people were shot when a large fight broke out at a Fourth of July party in Brockton early Saturday morning.

Officers responding to multiple 911 calls reporting a shooting in the area of May Street shortly before 2 a.m. found six people suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the Brockton Police Department.

The victims, whose names haven’t been released, were rushed to a local hospital. There was no immediate word on their conditions.

Police said more than a dozen people were involved in the altercation before shots were fired.

A neighborhood resident who got home from work around midnight said a huge party was going on with loud music, fireworks, and “hundreds and hundreds” of people.

He found a bullet hole in his wall on Saturday morning.

“Cars were parked up and down both sides of the road, which I’ve never seen before,” the resident told Boston 25 News. “When I woke up this morning, there was powdered plaster all over my desk. I started looking around, then I saw a hole in my wall...The bullet went completely through my house.”

The scene remained active hours after the shooting.

Video captured by a Boston 25 News photographer showed the road littered with red cups and other trash.
