PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A 22-year-old woman was reportedly shot and killed on Friday night.
 
According to a statement from the Berkshire district attorney's office, the Pittsfield Police responded to the Robbins Avenue and Bradford Street neighborhood around 9 p.m. 
 
First-responders found Cassandra Brouthers, of Woodlawn Avenue, suffering from a gunshot wound and they transported her to Berkshire Medical Center. She later succumbed to her injuries.
 
Investigators believe Brouthers was a passenger in a vehicle traveling on Robbins Avenue at the time of the shooting. Police do not believe the shooting is random and there is not an ongoing threat to the public at large relating to this incident.
 
The State Police Detective Unit assigned to the DA's office responded to assist.
 
"I send my heartfelt condolences to Ms. Brouthers family, friends and the entire community who are mourning today. We will not tolerate gun violence in Berkshire County. The Pittsfield Police are conducting a thorough investigation to hold the perpetrator accountable," District Attorney Andrea Harrington, who also responded to the scene, said.
 
Authorities are withholding further details at this time to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation. Pittsfield Police ask anyone with information to call the Detective Bureau Tip Line at 413-448-9705, or by texting PITTIP and your message to TIP411 (847411).
 
Update at 4:15 p.m. with complete write-thru.
