BOSTON, Mass. — One person is suffering from life-threatening injuries after being shot in Boston’s Hyde Park neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, according to Boston police.
Officers responded shortly after 5 p.m. following a report of a person shot. When police arrived, they found the victim suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound.
The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Authorities have not released the person’s identity or additional information about their condition beyond describing the injuries as life-threatening.
Boston police homicide detectives responded to the area as investigators began working to determine what led to the shooting and identify those responsible.
