Boston police were called to the intersection of Maverick and Liverpool Streets around 11:15 p.m. after reports of gunfire erupted in the area, as confirmed by NBC Boston.
Despite the chaos of the situation, authorities reported no injuries, and as of now, no arrests. The evening stillness was shattered by more than 10 gunshots, according to a local woman who described her fear to Boston 25 News.
