BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are investigating a shooting in Jamaica Plain late Monday night that left two people dead.
Officers responding to a report of a person shot in the area of Mozart and Bolster streets around 10 p.m. pronounced one man suffering from gunshot wounds dead at the scene, Boston Police Commissioner William G. Gross said.
A second shooting victim was found nearby and transported to a local hospital, where he was also pronounced dead, Gross added.
Both men were in their late 20s to early 30s. Their names have not been released.
The shots rang out in close proximity to a popular park and a pair of schools.
“This should not be tolerated. When we find these individuals, they should go to jail,” Gross said.
Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins says the location of this deadly shooting is disturbing.
“This is a tragic event. Two people lost their lives,” she said. “We need people to feel safe in these communities.”
Boston police are asking anyone with information to call 617-343-4470 or 1-800-494-TIPS.
