Car shot at outside Peabody apartment complex

PEABODY — Police responded to a shooting at the Terrace Estates apartments near the Northshore Mall Tuesday night.

Around 10 p.m., officers responded to reports of gunshots in the area of Shore Drive, which runs through the apartment complex located just off Route 128, said Lt. David Bonfanti, the department’s public information officer.

“The victim called us because she was in that area when her car got shot at, and there were four shots at the car,” Bonfanti said.

No one was injured. Police have not arrested any suspects at this time, according to Bonfanti.

Officers received assistance at the scene from the Massachusetts State Police.

This type of incident is unusual for the area, Bonfanti said. It remains under investigation.
