Dracut police investigating gunfire that struck home

Dracut police are investigating after a home was struck by gunfire on Saturday morning, and bullets were found inside another home, officials said.

Officers responded at 4:25 a.m. to the area of Varnum Road and Robert Street for a report of gunfire, Dracut Police Chief Peter Bartlett said.
