A Somerville man was nearly hit by a stray bullet that went into the window of his Memorial Road apartment Tuesday night.
Somerville police said the incident happened around 7:07 p.m. Tuesday. Police received 911 call to 10a Memorial Road, where officers found shell casings on the roadway.
“The investigation revealed a red or maroon Subaru turned on to Memorial Rd from Temple St and an occupant from the vehicle fired shots [at] a group of victims standing in front of 10a Memorial Rd,” police said in a Facebook post. “There are no reported injuries but stray bullets entered two apartments at Memorial Rd where one occupant was nearly hit with the stray bullets while seated in the living room.”

One of the bullets became stuck in a concrete wall above Tran’s head, according to WCVB. Another apartment was also struck; the occupants were not home at the time.
