‘Several people’ shot in Roxbury, life-threatening injuries reported: Police
Multiple people were shot in broad daylight in Roxbury this afternoon, according to Boston Police.
The shooting incident happened in the area of Schuyler Street around 2:30 p.m.
“Several people shot,” a Boston Police spokesman said. “Injuries are life-threatening.”
Police scanner reports indicated that four people had been shot.
Former city councilor and mayoral candidate Tito Jackson told the Herald his neighbors are rattled.
“There’s blood on the ground right now,” he said. “It’s very discouraging. It makes you angry this would happen right in front of your house. This shouldn’t happen on a Monday after Christmas and on the second day of Kwanzaa.”
Jackson said lives could be saved, however, due to the “quick response” on police and Boston EMTs.
