[ARCHIVED] Fitchburg Police Department Investigate Shots Fired

fpd media release

On July 21, 2018 at approximately 4:15pm, officers of the Fitchburg Police Department were called to the 1900 block of Pike Dr. for several reports of shots being fired. According to several callers, 5-8 shots were fired from a subject who had been a passenger in a darker colored sedan. The shots had been fired from the street toward several apartment buildings, while people were out in the area.


One of the rounds fired entered an apartment window and was located in the drywall of a bedroom. No one was in the apartment at the time of the shooting. Officers also located a loaded handgun magazine in the roadway. No injuries have been reported and there are no suspects identified at this time. This is not believed to be a random incident.


Just prior to the shots being fired, around 2:30pm, officers had been called to the area of Pike Dr. and Eggiman Rd. for a possible large disturbance where one male had been assaulted by several other males. All individuals involved had left the area prior to police arrival and no witnesses were located. Officers continued to be on foot patrol in the area until approximately 4:00pm.


If anyone has any information regarding this incident, please contact the Fitchburg Police Department at (608) 270-4300.
