WORCESTER, Mass. - Worcester police are investigating a deadly shooting of a 17-year-old boy.

Police say officers responded to the area of Shannon Street around 3:15 a.m. Monday for a shotspotter activation. They found evidence shots were fired, but didn't locate a victim until they searched local hospitals where they learned the teen was pronounced dead.
