He said the gunman fled toward High Street, where police say they believe he got into a vehicle and drove off.
Billerica Police searched the area with K9 officers and found no one.
"I was actually really surprised," said neighbor Taylor Fole when she heard what happened. "It's a really, really quiet neighborhood, you wouldn't expect that from this area."
She added, "I was nervous, especially nervous to know it was 11 o'clock and sometimes I come home around that time or if I have to take the trash out at night."
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Billerica Police.
