Keyboard and More Reportedly Used in South Shore Plaza Fight

BRAINTREE, MA - A fight between three men that resulted in a report of gun shots is being investigated by police.

At about 5:50 p.m. Sunday, a fight between men in their late teens and early 20s occurred at the South Shore Plaza, according to the Braintree Police Department. When police officers at the mall responded to the disturbance inside a store, they found the two men fighting, and a third man who later joined the fight.

The brawl allegedly saw one individual strike another individual with a computer keyboard and other items he was able to grab. A chase then ensued through the mall and across the street to South Shore Place where a second fight broke out, police said.

Gunshots were reported but police have not found any shell casings.

One person who police believe is a victim of the assault was found in the South Shore Plaza parking lots and transported to South Shore Hospital with injuries consistent with a fist fight. He did not appear to have any gunshot related injuries, according to police.

A second individual believed to be the aggressor was located by state troopers on Adams Street in Milton. He was transported to a Boston hospital with unknown injuries not believed to be related to gunshots.

Shortly after 8 p.m., a handgun believed to have been discarded by the individual located in Milton was found in a small wooded area along Granite Street near the on-ramp to the highway.

No arrests have been made. Police are still investigating the incident.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Braintree Police Department at 781-843-1212.
