Woman Critically Wounded In Shooting Outside Chelsea Home

CHELSEA (CBS) – A woman is in critical condition after she was shot in Chelsea.

The 42-year-old woman was shot twice outside a home on Clark Avenue just before midnight. She was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she spent the night with wounds to her left forearm and chest. Detectives say it was not a random attack.

"A vehicle, possibly a Honda, pulled up, some words were exchanged and shots were fired," Police Captain Keith Houghton told WBZ-TV.

They're looking for a gray four-door Honda with tinted windows. Investigators say there were two people in the car.

Anyone with information should call Chelsea Police at 617-466-4800.

"Everything is usually quiet, everybody knows each other around this neighborhood so it's something we haven't seen in a while," resident Erick Deblas told WBZ.
