BOSTON (WHDH) - Two teenage girls are facing multiple firearms charges in connection with a shots fired incident that took place in Roxbury Monday evening.
Officers responding to reports of gunfire near 2400 Washington St. around 5:45 p.m. said they heard the shots and ducked for cover, according to a release issued by the department.
A shot-spotter activated near 43 Saint James St. prompting a response from those officers and others in the area and two girls believed to be 15 and 16 years old were seen fleeing the area on foot.
The younger of the two was allegedly seen throwing a loaded .40 caliber Glock 22 handgun which was later recovered by police.
The officers said they saw a nearby parked car that had sustained bullet damage at close range.
