WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Williamstown Police and State Police continue to investigate a pre-Christmas shooting on Cole Avenue, police said on Wednesday morning.

 

The Dec. 22 incident at 330 Cole Ave. led to a brief lockdown of the Williams College campus.

 

According to initial reports, one person was transported to Berkshire Medical Center with a gunshot wound.

 

Within a few hours of the 10:15 a.m. report of a shooting at the housing complex, authorities notified residents that there was no threat to the public at large.

 

On Wednesday, Police Chief Michael Ziemba said he could dispel one rumor that has circulated in town since the shooting. The shooting was not the result of someone cleaning a gun, he said.
