ROCKLAND, Mass. Updated, 12:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026. South Shore 360 will update this story as officials release information.
A 49-year-old woman was killed after she was shot inside a home on School Street in Rockland early Saturday evening, and police are questioning two men, WCVB and Boston 25 News reported late Saturday, citing Rockland police and the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office.
Rockland Police Chief Nicholas Zeoli said officers received a 911 call at about 5:53 p.m. and found the woman with a gunshot wound when they arrived, WCVB reported, and Boston 25 News reported that she was taken to South Shore Hospital. "Initial reports indicate that two male parties were arguing in the residence and during the argument a gun went off striking the female," Zeoli said, according to Boston 25 News.
Both stations reported that the district attorney's office placed the shooting on School Street, that the two men are being questioned by investigators and that police said there is no threat to the public. The State Police and Rockland police are investigating, according to both stations.
Around the same time as the 911 call, a dispatcher sent cruisers to School Street after a caller asked for an ambulance and said someone had been shot, Plymouth County police radio traffic shows, and Rockland officers were heard working on School Street into the night.
At 8:35 p.m., a broadcast to police units said Rockland had a shooting with a fatality at about 5:53 p.m. and that officers were looking for a suspect. A second broadcast a minute later said the suspect was believed to be near Pond and Main streets in Weymouth, where officers then searched, according to police radio traffic on State Police and Plymouth County channels.
At about 8:54 p.m., Rockland police radio traffic said Weymouth police had one person in custody, and a Rockland unit left School Street to head there. A minute later, a dispatcher said the suspect in the Rockland case was in custody and told units they could cancel the lookout. The accounts Rockland police later gave WCVB and Boston 25 News do not mention an arrest or the search in Weymouth, and both say the two men are being questioned.
The Plymouth County District Attorney's Office, the State Police and the Rockland Police Department had not posted a release about the shooting on their websites as of 12:25 a.m. Sunday. South Shore 360 asked the district attorney's office for details Saturday night.
