An apparent bullet hole was seen in the glass storefront of popular Italian bakery Modern Pasty Shop.

Adrian DeStefano’s family has owned Caffe Paradiso next door for more than 60 years.

”We don’t have outdoor seating, and it was 11 o’clock, I think that’s what my staff said. They shut everything down and that’s it,” she said.

Police converged on Hanover Street with people still working in the Italian pastry shop. Fernando Moya says he ran outside after hearing gunfire from his nearby apartment and might have seen the shooter take off on a bike.

Massimo Tiberi says he’s lived in the North End his whole life and owns Arya Trattoria on Hanover Street, a busy place, especially during the summer.

“This shouldn’t happen. This is a place for fun and people going for dinner. It’s just bad for the neighborhood,”Tiberi said.

Investigators with Boston police were seen overnight looking into an incident along Hanover Street. An area was blocked off by police tape as authorities conducted their investigation.

The owners of Modern Pastry did not comment Thursday.

Additional information was not immediately available.
