Two early morning shootings Sunday in Duxbury have left two men, including a Tobey Garden Street resident, recovering from gunshot wounds and local townspeople in shock from the random acts of violence that happened in the heart of their quiet town.
On Sunday around 1:15 a.m., a 33-year old Marshfield man was driving past Duxbury Town Hall on Tremont Street when he was shot in the abdomen by a shotgun wielding man in a passing car, according to Duxbury police.
The victim drove himself to the fire station down the road on Tremont Street to receive help for his injuries. He had shotgun pellets lodged on his left side and lower abdomen and back. He was transported to the South Shore Hospital in Weymouth with non-life threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.
With the shooting victim and police at the fire station, that building was turned into a crime scene, according to Duxbury Police Chief Matthew Clancy.
