Woman in critical condition after Roxbury shooting
BOSTON – A woman is in critical condition after she was shot in Roxbury Thursday afternoon. It happened on Savin Street.
Boston Police say they have a "person of interest" in custody.
Investigators would not say anything more regarding the relationship between the victim and suspected shooter, but the city's top law enforcement leaders have concerns about a recent spree of gun violence.
"Four shootings in the last 24 hours or so, two of which are already fatal," Suffolk County DA Kevin Hayden said. "We need our society's help on this."
"It's been a rough couple of days," Police Commissioner Michael Cox said. "We want to encourage and let the public know we are doing all we can to make sure the community is safe."
Police said the shooting was not random and there is no threat to the public.
