Three people were hospitalized as the result of a violent home invasion that occurred at approximately 8:40 p.m. on Sunday, April 16, according to the Quincy Police Department.
Reports of gunshots and multiple stabbings drew police to a residence at the 400 block of Granite Street in Quincy. Four people were found at the residence, three of whom had received non-life-threatening injuries. An initial investigation determined that multiple people were stabbed but no one was shot.
The home invader pulled a gun out of a bag after knocking on the door and saying he was looking for a specific person, according to a victim who spoke with WHDH. The victims were forced to lie on their stomachs while the gunman attempted to zip-tie their hands behind their backs.
The victims told the gunman the locations of their wallets and laptops, but he only wanted to know their names, saying again that he was looking for a specific person, WHDH reports. The victims attempted to defend themselves with knives, resulting in a skirmish that left the residents wounded and "blood everywhere."
The three injured people were transported to a hospital by Brewster ambulance and the Quincy Fire Department and have since been discharged.
The suspect left the scene of the crime but has been identified by police. Initial investigations all suggest that this address was specifically targeted and that no active or continued threat exists to the community.
The suspect will face charges at Quincy District Court.
The situation is currently under investigation by the Bureau of Criminal Investigations Division. Police request that anyone with additional information email: qpdinfo@quincyma.gov
