A woman was wounded by gunfire last night in the streets of South Boston, prompting a police investigation into the shooting, according to officials. The Boston Police Department reported that the incident occurred at the intersection of W 7th and D streets, leaving the victim shot in the leg. NBC Boston stated that her injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The area around the shooting quickly became a hive of law enforcement activity, with officers cordoning off a section of D Street to collect evidence. Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting remain scarce, as authorities continue to probe the violent disruption that tore through the neighborhood's night, WHDH reported. The dearth of available information reflects the early stage of the investigation.
At present, no information regarding potential suspects or motives has been released to the public. The Boston Police have yet to comment further on whether there are any leads or arrests in connection with the shooting.
The investigation is ongoing and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in the apprehension of whoever is responsible for the violence inflicted on the unnamed woman.
