Violent Night in Dorchester with multiple shootings and a scooter crash
It was a busy night for Boston Police, with multiple shootings, a stabbing, and a crash involving a scooter all happening within just a few hours.
According to NBC10 Boston, shortly after 1 a.m., officers responded to Ellington Street in Dorchester for reports of a person shot. A man was found at the scene and taken to the hospital. No arrests have been made.
Less than two hours later, another shooting was reported on Kingsdale Street. Police believe the incident started over at the baseball field on Talbot Avenue. The victim was rushed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Not long after, things escalated near Dorchester Avenue and Melville Avenue when police attempted a traffic stop on two people riding a dirt bike, believed to be connected to the Talbot Avenue shooting. The pair refused to stop, leading to a crash and a foot chase. Officers later found the passenger hiding under a car at Barry Park with a gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital. Around the same time, another person was found with gunshot injuries on Talbot Avenue and transported as well.
