Anyone with information about the shooting or who may have witnessed the incident should contact Massachusetts State Police investigators with the Hampden County DA's office.
Original: Two people were shot when they say a car pulled up alongside them on Interstate 391 Tuesday night, March 12, and opened fire. One of the injured died during surgery later that night.
The wounded drove themselves to Baystate Medical Center around 8:45 p.m. They explained to police that a car pulled up next to the driver's side of their SUV in the southbound lane near mile marker 2.6 and fired multiple shots, Massachusetts State Police said. It's unclear what sparked the shooting or why they were targeted.
Doctors rushed a 35-year-old man who was shot in the car into surgery, but they could not save his life, authorities said. Another person was wounded and two others inside the car were not hurt, police said.
The passengers said they pulled the car over to the side of the road and frantically tried to flag down help, but no one stopped. So, they drove themselves to the hospital.
State police are investigating the shooting.
