BOSTON (WHDH) - Police are investigating after a person was shot in Dorchester and then run over by a car Sunday afternoon.
Officers responding to Everton and Olney streets found a person who had been shot. Witnesses said the man fell in front of a car that did not appear to see him and then ran him over.
The car stopped and passengers helped the injured man inside, witnesses said. The man was taken to the hospital with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
Police found a gun at the scene and searched a car a mile and a half away at Blue Hill Avenue and Brockford Street. No other information was immediately available.
Neighbors said they were upset by the violence they saw today.
“It’s sad that our children can’t sit outside and play,” said Jalisa Carter. “They’re stipulated to sit in front of the TV playing games, because bullets don’t have a name on them. You don’t know where they’re going to go.”
