PITTSFIELD, Mass.— Two men were injured on Tuesday night after multiple shots were fired near the intersection of Onota and Walnut Streets.

The Pittsfield Police Department responded to a ShotSpotter activation in the 200 block of Onota Street around 9:20 p.m. People in the area also called 911.

"Responding officers located evidence including shell casings on Onota Street and intersecting streets," PPD wrote on Wednesday.

"Two adult male victims were treated at Berkshire Medical Center (BMC) for non-life-threatening injuries."

Police said they will provide no further information at this time.

About 15 minutes after the police responded, it was posted on a local scanner Facebook page that an innocent bystander was hit. Police did not disclose in today's press release if one of the injured was a bystander.

PPD told the Berkshire Eagle that about 25 rounds were fired. Police canvassed the area on Tuesday night for suspects, blocking off the area of Onota Street between Linden and Walnut streets during the search.

This incident currently under investigation and anyone who wishes to report information is asked to PPD at 413-448-9700. Information can also be provided anonymously by texting PITTIP and your message to TIP411 (847411.)
