Shots Fired, Guns Waved, Pregnant Woman Punched

There have been several reports of shots fired around the city over the last 24 hours, but no injuries. At least one of the reports is also believed to be unfounded.

There were reports of gunshots overnight on Wilder Street, and in the area of this weekend's shooting on University Avenue, but police couldn't find any evidence at either scene and think the calls may have been unfounded.

A call for gunshots on Chapel Street, just after some people had an argument over a damaged car, may have been legitimate, but no one was hit and no shell casings were found.

The big winner of the day, though, is Marvin Moses, 24, of 74 Whipple St., third floor.

Police tell me they got a priority call Tuesday afternoon saying that Moses was waving a shotgun in a woman's face and making threats about 12:45 p.m.

Police tell me they rushed to his building and learned that not only had Moses waved a 12-gauge, sawed-off shotgun in the face of a woman in her early 30's, he also punched her. Police say the woman was pregnant.

Officers found the 12-gauge and some ammo in the building, so Moses was booked for assault and battery on a pregnant person, assault and battery, illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition, improper storage of a firearm, and threatening to commit a crime, police said.

He was still being held Tuesday night, awaiting arraignment on Wednesday.

can you tell me what happened in this case? did the sccused go to jail?

I'm sure it's not through the courts yet, as that can take months, or even over a year sometimes.

Our court reporter Lisa Redmond will follow the case through the courts now, and should have a story once the case is wrapped up either way.
