A Boston man was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries after being shot in the neck on Lowell Street Sunday afternoon, according to the victim’s brother.



At about 4 p.m., Somerville Police officers with their guns drawn and a K-9 unit searched inside 228 Lowell St. following a reported shooting. Somerville Police Deputy Chief Stephen Carrabino told the Journal a person was shot with non-life threatening injuries at 3:21 p.m. but did not say where the shooting happened or if any arrests had been made.



The victim’s brother Christopher Lopez told the Journal two unknown men fired a single bullet at their car outside the 228 Lowell St. building, striking his 19-year-old brother from Boston in the neck. Lopez said they were leaving a recording studio inside the building, where their friend was recording songs.



“Some guys came out of nowhere and shot at the car,” Lopez said. “They didn’t say nothing, just shot.”



Lopez said he then drove the car away from the scene before parking in front of the parking lot at 301 Lowell St. where he called police and their friend attended attended to his neck wound. Lopez said his brother was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and later talked to their mother over the phone.



“He already called the house but he’s fine thank god,” he said.
