At least two people were taken to the hospital when the call came in just before 6:00 a.m. this morning, according to Boston EMS.
One community leader that spoke to NBC10 Boston this morning said this shooting is the latest act of violence in what he is calling a state of emergency for parts of the city.
“I’m very saddened that less than 24 hours after we made, once again, an appeal to the police commissioner and to the mayor to declare a state of emergency, that violence in terms of shooting has erupted,” Rev. Kevin Peterson said at a crime scene in Dorchester this morning.
