Gunfire shattered the daytime calm in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood as bullets left one person injured and residents rattled on Thursday. Boston police responded to reports of a shooting near Washington Street and Glenarm Street, where officers discovered an individual with gunshot wounds, Boston 25 News reported. The victim, found near the intersection of Erie and Seaver streets, was rushed to the hospital with injuries not deemed life-threatening.

Subsequent to the shooting in the vicinity of the Franklin Park Zoo, a vehicle marked with the violence of the incident bore the scars expected at such a scene. A bullet hole marred the passenger's door, and the driver's side window was in pieces. Casings and ballistics were discovered on Erie Street and Greenwood Street, according to authorities, which confirms the two sites are related to each other.

No suspects have been detained in connection with the shooting, leaving the community on edge as the police's investigation continues. Residents spent the afternoon close by to a porch and the side of a home on Erie Street, which had been hit by stray bullets. Fortunately, inside the home at the exact time, nobody was hurt, Boston 25 News confirmed.

The community stands shaken as one individual described the event as "a reckless act of violence" to Boston 25 News. A plea for tangible actions resonated in the words of neighbor Juliana Osborne, as caught in her statement to WHDH. “The mayor, the governor — come to the neighborhood and see. Put cameras up,” Osborne demanded.
