CAMBRIDGE - Two people are facing charges after a shooting on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts Sunday evening that police said was the result of road rage.

It happened at around 5:15 p.m. near the MIT Sailing Pavilion. Two cars were seen surrounded by police tape and evidence markers and at least one of the cars had bullet holes in a window. 

Police said Cesar Gutierrez and Kevin Osorio got into an altercation while driving. Gutierrez allegedly hit Osorio with a blunt object and Osorio allegedly fired shots in return. Both men were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

"It's just surprising because where would they have shot from, in the middle and then shooting out here to where pedestrians walk is dangerous," said someone who lives nearby. "There is a risk there, there are plenty of kids that walk down this street all the time."

State Police said there no threat to the public at this time.
