BOSTON (WHDH) - A person was hospitalized after they were shot in broad daylight near the Boston Common Thursday afternoon.
Emergency crews were called to the scene near the intersection of Winter and Tremont Street for reports of a person shot around 4 p.m., according to police.
Upon their arrival, they found the victim suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.
The Common was filled with people enjoying the nice weather and thankfully no one else was hurt.
Red Line service was briefly delayed because the shooting happened so close to the Park Street station.
“In the midst of national mourning for the child and adult victims of the Texas mass shooting, we experience broad-daylight gunfire in one of the most congested areas of Boston. I pray for the victim and I pray that all of us—our entire society, from the largest businesses to the smallest neighborhood groups—will join the effort to reduce illegal guns on our streets and in our communities,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden
Investigators cleared the scene in about an hour but have not released any details on the shooter.
