By Terri Schwartz, Globe Correspondent
Three males were seriously injured in a triple-shooting Saturday morning near the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. State and Lowell police were searching for the gunman.
‘‘Based on our initial investigation, we do not believe this to have been a random incident and we do believe the involved parties were known to one another,’’ Gerry Leone, the Middlesex district attorney, said in a press release.
A Lowell police officer heard shots fired shortly before 2:30 a.m. and found the victims at a house on University Avenue. All three victims suffered from serious injuries. They were transported to Lowell area hospitals. and then to undisclosed hospitals in Boston.
