Pittsfield — The city’s Police Department is looking for suspects in three separate shooting incidents.
According to a press release issued by Lt. John Soules, on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at around 7:30 p.m., the department responded to the 100 block of First Street to a 34-year-old Pittsfield resident, who had sustained a gunshot wound.
The male resident was transported to Berkshire Medical Center for treatment, and the injury was determined to be not life-threatening.
On Thursday, Oct. 31 at around 11 p.m., the department responded to the 20 block of Pleasant Street where several callers reported shots being fired.
A ShotSpotter alarm, which is used to determine gunshot activity, was also activated in the incident.
The officers arrived on the scene to find an 18-year-old male Pittsfield resident who sustained a gunshot wound.
The resident was transported to BMC for treatment and the injury was determined not to be life-threatening.
On Friday, Nov. 1 after 12:30 a.m., officers again responded to the 20 block of Pleasant Street after a second ShotSpotter alarm was activated, along with a report of shots fired.
Officers recovered shell cases on the scene.
In relation to the incident, about one hour later at 1:40 a.m., officers were dispatched to BMC for a shooting victim who arrived at the hospital with a gunshot wound.
The 37-year-old male Pittsfield resident received treatment and the injury was not considered to be life-threatening.
Lt. Soules wrote that the department believes the two Pleasant Street incidents are related, but it is not known if the First Street shooting incident is connected.
