Gunshots rang out Wednesday night following a crash involving multiple vehicles along Washington Street in Easton.

Police were first called at 11:05 p.m. for a crash at Washington and 15th streets.

Then came calls for five other crashes on Washington Street, between 11th and 13th streets, followed by reports of a fight and multiple calls for gunfire in the 100 block of Washington Street.

The driver, Raymond Shields, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault while DUI and related offenses, said Easton police Capt. David Beitler.

Shields, 28, of the 1300 block of Washington Street in Easton, also has a warrant out of New Jersey on a dangerous drugs charge, and is being held on $110,000 bail in Northampton County Prison.

An injured woman was taken from the scene to St. Luke's University Hospital in Fountain Hill, according to emergency radio reports.

Police said the gunfire is under investigation, but that the incident involved a person confronting Shields after the crashes.

Police found at least one casing on South 12th Street and recovered a firearm; Beitler said there was no evidence anyone was struck by a bullet.
