It stems from an incident on Paine Street on April 30. According to police, officers were called in after a car struck a house around 9 p.m. When they arrived they found the driver suffering a gunshot wound.

That man was taken to the hospital. More information on his condition was not released.

A woman who was sleeping at the front of the house when the crash happened was counting her blessings that she wasn't hurt Wednesday.

"I heard a pop, pop and a bang, bang! I just screamed and jumped out of bed," Lorrie Carlson told NBC10 Boston in a previous interview.

She said she went outside and saw the driver unconscious.

Other neighbors heard the sound of gunshots and saw the driver slumped over and bloodied.
