Two drivers are facing charges after a road rage shooting on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Sunday, police said.

State and local police responded to reports of gunshots on Memorial Drive near the MIT Sailing Pavilion shortly after 5 p.m. A large police presence was seen after the incident took place.

According to State Police, the two drivers who were involved in an altercation did not know each other before the incident occurred.

Authorities say one of the drivers, 65-year-old Cesar Gutierrez, of Revere, allegedly struck the other driver, 30-year-old Kevin Osorio, with a blunt object. Police say Osorio then drew his gun and fired multiple times at Gutierrez.

Authorities say Osorio has a license to carry a firearm.

Both Osorio and Gutierrez were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

Cambridge police described what happened as a road rage incident and noted that state police would be investigating, since Memorial Drive is overseen by the state.

Both men are facing charges in connection with the incident. They are both expected to be arraigned in Cambridge District Court when they are medically able, according to State Police.
