BOSTON – Five people, including two juveniles, were shot Sunday night in Dorchester. One of the young victims suffered life-threatening injuries.

The shooting happened just after 8:30 p.m. outside the Franklin Field housing complex at 50 Ames Street. The five victims included three adults and two victims under the age of 18.

"I'm angry; I'm upset as a Mom," Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said at a press conference late Sunday. "I'm praying with all my heart for those in the hospital to recover."
