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.

Rumbolt Law Wins Cal Ripken Minors Title

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Asher Garbatini Sunday went 2-for-2 with a double at the plate and threw two shutout innings on the mound to lead Rumbolt Law to a 6-3 win over North Adams Police Department in the championship game of the Berkshire County Cal Ripken minors division tournament.
 
NAPD rallied from deficits of 2-0 and 3-2 before Rumbolt rallied for three runs in bottom of the fourth inning to put the game out of reach.
 
Andre Carasone made the three-run lead stand up, pitching out of a second-and-third jam in the fifth and leaving the bases loaded in the sixth to secure the win.
 
Offensively, every player on Rumbolt reached base and six of its 12 players scored a run.
 
Rumbolt coach John Carasone said his team grew tremendously over the last half year.
 
"We had a really bad fall ball season," he said. "This team could not win. And then we came back here in the spring, and we couldn't lose.
 
"Andre [Carasone] and Asher [Garbatini] worked their tails off in the off-season, in particular. They came back to pitch really well."
