EASTON — Chief Keith Boone reports that the Easton Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred Tuesday afternoon.

At approximately 2:30 p.m., Easton Police responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting at an apartment complex on Robert Drive. The suspects fled the area prior to police arrival.

Upon arrival, officers located a teenage female suffering from a gunshot wound.

The victim was transported by an Easton Fire ambulance to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, then flown by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.
