WORCESTER, MA — After making three arrests so far this week, Worcester police are searching for a fourth person in connection to a triple shooting Sunday night in the Union Hill neighborhood.

Police believe he is armed, and want to arrest him on charges including armed assault with intent to murder, possession of a machine gun and other gun law violations.

Sunday's shooting near the intersection of Coral Street left two 18-year-old women and a 17-year-old boy injured, according to police.
