BOSTON (WHDH) - A woman described the terrifying moment when she witnessed a shot clerk get taken out of a Roxbury convenience store Tuesday night.
Mary Quirk says she was inside the store on Shawmut Avenue around 9:30 p.m. when the violence unfolded.
“I heard somebody yelling,” she recalled. “I was right inside the door when they brought him out on a stretcher.”
The man, whom Quirk identified as an employee, was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to Boston police.
Quirk says the recent violence needs to stop.
“I’m disappointed. I really am,” she said. “I’ve gotten to the point where I’m scared because it was never like this around here, at least not what I saw or experienced.”
Quirk added that she is praying for the victim and hopes he is OK.
His current condition has not been released.
An investigation remains ongoing.
