BOSTON (WHDH) - The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority announced that Aquarium Station was closed Sunday night as police searched for evidence following a shots fired incident.
Officers responding to a report of shots fired about 9:50 p.m. conducted a preliminary investigation that suggests a fight onboard an inbound Blue Line train involving several juvenile males spilled onto the platform, where at least two shots were fired, according to transit police.
The station will remain closed until the scene is processed.
In a statement, Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan said, “We are extremely grateful no one was injured during tonight’s incident and all available resources will be deployed to identify, locate and apprehend the person/s responsible for such reckless and criminal conduct.”
It is unclear when regular service will resume.
