BOSTON (WHDH) - An investigation is underway after a person was shot in broad daylight in Dorchester on Friday morning, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of shots fired in the area of 23 Cheney St. around 11 a.m. found evidence scattered in the street but no victim in the area, according to the Boston Police Department.
It was later learned that the victim, whose name has not been released, walked to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. They are expected to be OK.
The street has since been roped off with crime scene tape and a K9 team is scouring the area. Several evidence markers have been placed in the neighborhood.
No additional information was immediately available.
