April 24, 2025 – Springfield, Massachusetts – In response to recent incidents of violence in our community, the Hampden District Attorney’s Office recognizes the concern these events have caused and wants to assure the public that our commitment to justice, safety, and transparency remains steadfast.

“We understand the unease that comes with such acts of violence, and we want the community to know that each of these cases is being thoroughly investigated in close coordination with our law enforcement partners,” said Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni. “Our hearts go out to the families who are grieving.”

While online conversations around these incidents continue to grow, we urge the public to be mindful of the role that social media can play in spreading fear or misinformation. Unverified claims can compromise active investigations and contribute to a sense of chaos that does not reflect the full picture.

“We are actively working every lead and deploying every available resource,” Gulluni added. “At this time, there is no indication that these incidents are connected to each other or are they a part of a larger public safety threat.”

The District Attorney’s Office remains in frequent contact with police departments, city officials, and community leaders to address concerns and ensure public confidence. We encourage anyone with information relevant to investigations to come forward. The Springfield Police Department Detective Bureau can be reached at 413-787-6355 or through text a tip – text CRIMES (2-7-4-6-3-7) type SOLVE and your tip.

As always, our focus is on seeking justice, supporting victims and their families, and maintaining the safety of our community.
