HYANNIS – A large police presence was on crowded Main Street in Hyannis after a brazen broad daylight barrage of gunfire reportedly rang out sometime after 4 PM Sunday. An officer on patrol heard the shots and called for additional units in the area of High School Road. According to reports, one person suffered a gunshot wound to their leg and was rushed to Cape Cod Hospital.
Statement from Barnstable Police: At approximately 4:30 PM on Sunday June 25th 2023, Barnstable Police responded to the area of Main St. and High School Rd. in Hyannis for reported gun shots.
