A man has been arrested after a woman was found shot in the chest outside a Brockton home early Sunday morning.
Brockton police responded to the home on Falconer Avenue for a report of a woman with a gunshot wound to the chest.
Brockton Fire and Ambulance personnel treated the victim at the scene before transporting her to a hospital in Boston.
“I heard gunfire, multiple shots multiple, multiple shots back and forth,” said John Pennio, who lives on Falconer Ave in Brockton.
Pennio looked outside his window to see dozens of shell casings just before 2 AM Sunday when someone opened fire on his street.
Police say a man shot a woman in the chest.
“Your heart drops, I went upstairs and checked on them everyone was okay,” said Pennio.
Pennio says he checked on his four kids to make sure they were okay after a bullet from the shooting went into his house.
The bullet entered the house, ricocheted off the ceiling, and then went right through a picture and into a wall.
Police had to break through the wall to find the bullet lodged inside the wall.
“If it entered about six, eight inches higher it would have went right into their bedroom,” said Pennio.
Pennio says he’s so thankful the bullet didn’t go into his kid’s bedroom, and he hopes the woman who was shot makes a full recovery.
“I’m just glad no one else was hurt,” said Pennio.
Police say the victim is from Fall River and she’s still recovering.
The 27-year-old man who was arrested will be arraigned Monday for the shooting.
