LYNN, Mass. — Two men were held without bail following their arraignments on charges following a shooting that triggered a shelter-in place order in Lynn last week.
Anthony Guiterrez, 23, was arraigned Monday afternoon in Lynn District Court on charges including assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to murder, carrying a firearm without a license, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, and illegal possession of ammunition, according to the district attorney’s office.
Mark Paliy was charged with defacing a firearm serial number, unlawful possession of ammunition, improper storage of a firearm, possession of a large capacity firearm, possession of a firearm without an FID Card, the district attorney’s office said. Both Guiterrez and Paliy are being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Monday, Sept. 25 in Lynn District Court.
Guiterrez opened fire in the area of Commercial and Neptune streets around 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 13 and then fled on foot before officers were able to apprehend him, Lynn police said.
