The Fall River Police Department is investigating an incident that took place over the weekend.

According to Det. Sergeant Moses Pereira, at just after 9:15 p.m. on Sunday, officers responded to Bradford Avenue in response to reports of shots fired in the area.

Upon arrival, officers met with a 25-year-old man who told them that he was seated in a vehicle on Bradford Avenue when he was approached by multiple masked individuals. One of these individuals opened his car door and demanded that he hand over his belongings. The victim reports that he exited the vehicle and fled the area on foot while the suspects left the area in his vehicle.

The victim did not report that shots were fired during the incident and stopped cooperating with investigators. Officers were able to locate evidence of a shooting in the area where the incident had reportedly occurred. According to scanner transmissions, at least 3 shell casings were recovered.

Pereira stated that the case is being investigated by the Major Crimes Division.

    Don’t fret the morons on Beacon Hill are crafting new gun legislation that will save us all. Oh wait , no it won’t because it only affects the law abiding citizens. The same morons on Beacon Hill are soft on crime , rerelease dangerous criminals to reoffend and leave the law abiding unable to defend themselves.

    Dear Fed I’d liked to know if you are for or against gun control and the reasons why. Please respond as I’m interested in putting together a synopsis for a project I may be doing, it doesn’t have to be extensive

    Than you in advance
