PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A man shot in the Big Y parking lot earlier this week has died.

 

Anthony Gamache, 29, of Goshen died Wednesday, the district attorney's office confirmed on Thursday. Gamache had been shot Tuesday while in the Big Y parking lot on West Street. Police have charged an 18-year-old city man with firearm charges.

 

"We're waiting on the results of the autopsy," said Fred Lantz, of the district attorney's office, Thursday afternoon. 

 

The autopsy will be performed in Boston to determine the cause of death. 

 

Gamache was shot in the the leg and was driven by two others to Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton to be treated for his injury. He reportedly needed surgery and was transferred to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield.

He is being held without bail until a dangerousness hearing on Friday morning.
