Woman and teen boy shot, man dead after shooting at Lowell home

LOWELL, Mass. — Officials are investigating a shooting in Lowell that left a woman in critical condition, a man dead and a teen hospitalized early Friday morning.

Lowell police and the Middlesex District Attorney’s office found a juvenile male walking with a gunshot wound on Wilder Street shortly after midnight. Police then responded to a South Walker Street home and found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds.

The woman was rushed to a Boston area hospital where she remains in critical condition. Investigators say the man was pronounced dead at the scene with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The juvenile is in stable condition.

A neighbor told Boston 25 News he was enjoying his night when his brother burst through the door frantically.

The two ran downstairs to the apartment building’s front door and found a 16-year-old boy covered in blood with a gunshot wound to the chest.

“I see someone’s head against the door right there and it’s just so bloody,” Caleb told Boston 25. “It looked like he just came from his home no shirt on no shoes nothing.”

Caleb said his brother tried to keep the boy awake as the victim said his dad had shot him after arguing with the mother.

“My brother gave him a shirt to cover the wound to help him … I ran upstairs to get water we’re giving him water and stuff and then that’s when the police department came and anything came,” Caleb detailed.

Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, the Lowell Police Department and Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office are investigating the case.
