Salem resident Alyssa Jackson said that first she believed it was a vehicle break-in as her car alarm had gone off. However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that one of the windows had a gunshot hole in it.
This incident occurred just after a Halloween celebration that drew thousands of visitors to the city. According to Jackson, gun incidents are uncommon, but noise from college-related events is common due to the area’s closeness to the school.
Leading the investigation are detectives from the Salem Police Department and the Essex County District Attorney’s Office State Police Detective Unit.
