Two men were hooked last week, with their handguns now in police custody. It all went down when 35-year-old Ricardo Pierre allegedly decided to turn the area outside 1126 North Montello Street into a shooting gallery before 10:00 a.m. last Saturday. The officers nabbed Pierre, charged him with assault with a dangerous weapon, and fired a gun too close to a building.
The heat continued the very next day when detectives snagged a 9-millimeter semi-automatic pistol that didn't exactly belong around these parts—it was reported stolen from Central Falls, RI. Cops also found eight rounds of ammunition and a high-capacity magazine—all in the possession of 18-year-old Brockton native Marcos Goncalves.
Goncalves now faces a laundry list of charges of carrying a loaded firearm, unlawful possession of ammo, not one, but two counts of unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device, topped off with receiving stolen property, according to a Facebook post by the Brockton Police Department.
