  AUBURN — 6 people have been arrested, and 6 guns have been recovered following an investigation into a chaotic shootout earlier this month in Auburn, police said Wednesday.

  The arrests come less than 10 days after Auburn police responded to a report of shots fired at 65 Southbridge Street just before 2 a.m. on March 8. Officers arrived to find an adult male with a gunshot wound to the shoulder and numerous people fleeing the area, police said. The victim was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

  Investigators recovered 60 spent shell casings of varying calibers, indicating multiple firearms had been used. Officers also found 2 handguns discarded outside the building and later recovered 4 additional firearms hidden inside.
