Police: 17-Year-Old Shot, Pushed From Car In Methuen

METHUEN (CBS) -- Police believe a Methuen High School student was pushed out of a car after he was shot in Methuen Sunday. Officers responded to Davis Street around 12:30 p.m. to find the teen in the road.

"Upon arrival, the officers realized that the 17-year-old male subject had suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder," said Methuen Police Det. Sgt. Thomas McMenamon.

He was rushed to Lawrence General Hospital and underwent emergency surgery, police said. Then, he was med-flighted to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

It appears he was shot while in the car at an unknown location and driven to Davis Street, where police believe the teen lives.

"We're in the early process of interviewing residents that live down the street, if they may have seen anything, just combing through anything that we can go through," said McMenamon.

No arrests have been made.

Police are searching for a small, dark-colored car.

"Everybody was screaming out here," said Deborah Credit, who lives on Davis Street. "I saw the black car and the other person with me saw the black car. Open the door and then he took off real fast."

She added, "That stuff don't happen here. So you know, it makes you a little paranoid."
