A Brigham and Women’s Hospital employee was shot near the hospital Friday morning, and police are investigating whether a second shooting on Route 9 in Brookline is related.

The Norfolk District Attorney’s office confirmed that there was a “police-involved fatal shooting” near Route 9 and Hammond Street Friday morning.

Authorities note that they’re investigating this incident “as possibly connected to earlier incidents in Suffolk County, leading to pursuit down Route 9 to that location.”

Police were called to 60 Fenwood Road around 9:20 a.m. for a report of shots fired, according to a spokesperson for the department. One person, a member of the hospital’s valet team, was found shot. He is in stable condition, the hospital said.
