The Boston Herald is reporting that a teenage girl was shot on the Fourth of July while walking down Bowdoin Street in Dorchester.

BPD responded to a call around at 7:55 a.m. Wednesday to Boston Children’s Hospital to talk with a 13-year-old girl who was being treated after getting shot the night before in Dorchester.

The teen told police that she was walking in the 200-block of Bowdoin when she was shot in the ankle. Initially, the girl and her friend thought the injury was from a firework, but it was from a gunshot wound.
