A person was shot in a residential area of Norwood Wednesday afternoon, according to police.

Multiple 911 callers reported hearing gunfire near the intersection of Columbine and Woodbine Roads around 5 p.m., Norwood police said in a press release . The callers told dispatchers they’d seen a car fleeing the area after the gunshots had ceased.

Officers responded to the scene, but could not locate a car that might be involved in the shooting, police said. A short time later, another 911 caller reported that there was a shooting victim inside a car at a gas station at the intersection of Dean Street and Route 1 — approximately two miles from where the shooting happened.

Norwood police and firefighters provided first aid to the victim before they were taken by ambulance to a local hospital
