Police Investigate Shooting Outside Whiplash Night Club in Stoughton

Stoughton Police and the Massachusetts State Police are in the midst of an investigation to find the involved parties in a shooting outside Whiplash Nightclub that sent two to Boston area hospitals early Sunday morning.

The following information is from the Stoughton Police Department Facebook Page:

On April, 21 2013 at 12:45 a.m., a shooting occurred in the parking lot of the Trackside Plaza, adjacent to the Whiplash nightclub. Stoughton Police Officers were already on scene and quelling a fight inside the nightclub when the shots rang out.

One victim was found on the ground of the parking lot with serious injuries and was Med Flighted to Massachusetts General Hospital. An apparent second victim walked into another Boston area hospital with a wound to the leg later in the morning.

Due to a large crowd of fleeing people creating a chaotic scene, officers have not yet been able to identify all of the involved parties. Stoughton Detectives in conjunction with the Massachusetts State Police and the Boston Police Department are processing evidence found at the scene and conducting a thorough investigation.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the Canton, Sharon and Randolph Police Departments for also providing assistance. The matter is ongoing.

Patch will have more information as it becomes available.
