Woman and Baby Shot in Dorchester: Boston Police Commissioner Expresses Outrage
In a tragic turn of events, a woman and a baby were seriously injured after being shot in Dorchester on Monday night. The incident has sparked outrage from Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox, who condemned the violent attack as “heinous” and “cowardly.”
“This is a pretty heinous act in general, pretty cowardly,” Cox said. “I can’t think of any reason someone would shoot a female and a young child for any reason so we really need the public’s help and support on this one.”
The shooting took place just after 11:30 p.m. on Stratton Street, prompting a swift response from authorities. Both shot spotter activation and 911 calls reporting a baby shot alerted police to the scene.
Upon arriving at the outdoor crime scene, officers found the woman and baby suffering from gunshot wounds. They were quickly transported to the hospital for treatment. The baby’s injuries are reported as life-threatening, while the woman’s injuries are not as severe.
