SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Massachusetts State Police K9 Neko, with the help of his Trooper Dan Purtell and other patrols, located a suspect who allegedly opened fire in a Woburn home overnight.
Neko located the man hiding in a backyard shed in the early morning hours on Friday, after authorities say the man opened fire with a pistol at a Woburn residence. The suspect, who was also the subject of an outstanding warrant, is not being named because authorities believe the incident was a domestic dispute.
Troopers responded to Samoset Road in Woburn around 2:25 a.m. Friday to search for a man who fired a gun and fled on foot, state police said in a statement.
