A 34-year-old man was shot Wednesday night in the 100 block of First Street, they said. Then on Thursday, an 18-year-old man was shot in the 20 block of Pleasant Street, they said.

Hours later, early Friday morning, there was a report of a shooting in the same area, police said. A 37-year-old man arrived at Berkshire Medical Center a short time later.
