Woman Shoots Another, Then Herself In New Braintree Home: DA

NEW BRAINTREE, MA — A woman shot another and then herself at a home on Worcester Road in New Braintree Saturday morning in what appears to be a case of domestic violence, according to the Worcester County DA.

"We're still early in the investigation," said Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early, who said authorities are working on getting a search warrant for the home.

When police arrived at the house, they found two women suffering from gunshot wounds, one inside and one outside. Emergency responders took one to a hospital by ambulance the other by helicopter. Both are in stable condition and are expected to survive, according to the DA.

Saturday morning Hardwick Police were the ones to respond to the 911 call.

"We would just like the public to know that this is not a random act, no one is in danger at this point and the situation is under control," said a representative from the Hardwick Police.

Local and state police placed crime scene tape around the home.

"There is an active police investigation in the town of New Braintree on Worcester Road," the Hardwick-New Braintree police said in a statement earlier in the afternoon. "The public is safe and this is an isolated incident."
