BOSTON (WHDH) -
Police are investigating after a teacher and student were shot at a Boston school Tuesday, officials said.
Officers responding to reports of a shooting at TechBoston Academy at 5:40 p.m. found a 31-year-old teacher and a 17-year-old student had been shot, police said. Both were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and are in stable condition, according to police.
Police have not said if the shooting was random or intentional, but said the teacher and student were preparing for a school event when they were shot.
“This type of behavior cannot and will not be tolerated,” said Superintendent-in-Chief Gregory Long. “Obviously, this is very concerning and disturbing. Schools are supposed to be a safe haven for our students and teachers, not a place where they are subjected to brazen acts of violence.”
“We are going to do everything we can to ensure every one of our parks, our schools, our communities are the safe, welcoming homes that all of our students deserve,” said Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
