Yesterday, a 16-year-old boy was apprehended by police due to the alleged illegal possession of a firearm, among other charges. This report comes from a Boston Police Department press release which states that officers responded to a gunshot detection system alert near 60 Southern Avenue in Dorchester.
The suspect was detained, and a Polymer 80 firearm was confiscated, containing an empty casing but three bullets in the magazine.
The details of this case will be sifted through in the judicial process. As the teenager faces charges that include delinquency due to illicit firearm use, the results will come under the purview of the legal system.
