Boston police arrested two suspects connected to a brazen Saturday morning shooting in Dorchester that left seven people with non-life threatening injuries, authorities said.
Officers responded to multiple gunshots in the area of 10 Talbot Ave. at 7:43 a.m. just as people were celebrating the J’ouvert parade, which happens before the Caribbean Carnival later in the day, Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said. Multiple weapons were recovered, according to police.
Officers stationed at the parade rushed toward the gunfire and started applying tourniquets to the wounded, Cox said. The investigation into the shooting is in its early stages, Cox said, but police believe two groups may have had some form of “altercation.” Cox said there could be a possible eighth victim who was grazed by a bullet.
