HOLYOKE, Mass. (WLNE) — Massachusetts State Police said that multiple patrol, K-9, and investigative units were dispatched to Holyoke Wednesday afternoon after reports of a shooting.

Media Relation Director Dave Procopio said that the units were sent to Maple Street assist Holyoke police officers in the search for the perpetrator of the shooting around 12:45 p.m.

Procopio said that multiple people suffered gunshot wounds and were transported to the hospital.

He added that it appeared that one of the victims was on a bus when they were shot, and the shooting was the result of an “altercation” between individuals.

“There is not believed to be any ongoing threat to the public,” Procopio said.
