CARVER — Chief Marc Duphily reports that the Carver Police Department is actively investigating a reported shooting incident that occurred at Sampson Pond on Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, Aug. 13, at about 7:37 p.m., a woman arrived at the Carver police station and reported that she had been shot at Sampson Pond.
Officers observed what appeared to be a gunshot wound to her leg.
Carver EMS responded to the police station, provided medical aid, and transported the victim, a 28-year-old woman formerly of Carver, via ambulance to South Shore Hospital in Weymouth with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
Based on the preliminary investigation, investigators believe this was not a random act and that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
The incident remains under active investigation by the Carver Police Department.
Carver Police searched the area where the shooting was reported to have occurred. Numerous officers and resources were deployed to the area, including the Massachusetts State Police Air Wing helicopter, a Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit, and a drone unit from the Rochester Police Department.
Anyone who believes they may have information regarding the incident is asked to contact the Carver Police Department at 508-866-2000.
“We are taking this report very seriously and are devoting all necessary resources to determine exactly what happened,” Chief Duphily said. “We ask residents to report any information they believe is relevant to the investigation to our department.”
