The location of the apartment building is the corner of Amherst and Beech streets, across the street from Central High School.
There was a homicide on Lowell Street on the other side of Central High School. At the time of that homicide, police said that Central High students were not connected and were never in danger.
Police are still searching for a man who has not been taken into custody at this time.
Sunday’s shooting does not appear to be related in any way to Central High School, and the school was not in session.

NH dog facility owner charged with animal cruelty after video surfaces online
A 26-year-old woman, who owns a dog training and kennel facility in Brentwood, New Hampshire, has been arrested after a video surfaced online showing apparent animal cruelty in Methuen, Massachusetts.
Brentwood police notified the Methuen Police Department about the video on Jan. 2. A preliminary investigation then identified the woman in the video as Maddison Eastman.
Police obtained an arrest warrant for Eastman on two counts of animal cruelty, and she turned herself into Lawrence District Court last Wednesday.
Eastman was arraigned Friday. Information from her court appearance wasn’t immediately available, and officials haven’t released further details about what Eastman allegedly did.
Methuen police said they’ll have no further comment at this time and referred all inquiries to the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.
