Burlington police seek arrest warrant for teen after car crash, shots fired at apartment complex

BURLINGTON, Mass. — Burlington police are investigating after a car crashed and shots were fired at an apartment complex Tuesday night.

Officers were called to the Avalon Burlington apartment complex on Arboretum Way at 8:39 p.m. after a car crashed near building No. 5.

Immediately after, dispatchers received a call about shots fired in the same area.

There were no reports of any injuries.

Authorities say they’ve obtained an arrest warrant for a 16-year-old juvenile in connection with the gunfire.

“I want to provide an update on this incident, and to assure the community that we are doing our utmost to locate this suspect,” said Chief Browne.

Police were called to the same apartment complex back in August for a similar situation.

Investigators responded to the Avalon Burlington apartment complex on Aug. 2 after two suspects in a stolen car opened fire at one of the units.

Police said the suspects fired 21 shots, and the car they were traveling in was stolen out of Everett.

No one was hurt.
