MAN, SHOT WHILE DRIVING, FLAGS DOWN AMBULANCE

Authorities say a man who said he was shot while driving on a Massachusetts highway flagged down a passing ambulance for treatment.

Fire Chief Timothy Harhen says an East Bridgewater ambulance was driving south on state Route 24 in West Bridgewater just after 6 p.m. Monday when it was flagged down by two men.

The Brockton Enterprise reports that one of them had suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder, while the other was a passerby.

The victim’s name wasn’t released. Paramedics immediately tended to the 44-year-old man and took him to a hospital. A vehicle by the side of the highway had a shattered passenger-side window and apparent gunshot holes in the passenger door.
