LIVERMORE FALLS — Police are investigating a drive-by shooting of a parked vehicle at 23 Baldwin St. over the weekend, Police Chief Ernest Steward Jr. said.
Evidence, including bullets and bullet casings, is being sent to a state crime laboratory for analysis, he said.
Residents remember hearing pops between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday. One resident went outside but did not see anything, the chief said.
The owner of the car was asked by a friend Sunday what happened to his vehicle, Steward said.
