Black Christmas, Again

black-christmas-2.jpgUnfortunately, the holiday has not brought a respite to the violence in Boston. Yesterday, a 14-year-old boy got shot in the chest on Cummins Highway in Roslindale and later died. Another teenager was shot a block away, but his injuries aren't life-threatening.

A bus passed by during the shootings, and the Herald reports that the bus passengers and members of the nearby Born Again Evangelistic Outreach Ministry scrambled to escape the gunfire:

The bus witness said he ducked for cover back in the bus and got off at the next stop, roughly a block away. He said that on his short walk back through the crime scene he saw churchgoers rush inside the Born Again Evangelistic Outreach Ministry, where they closed the doors and turned off the lights.

The BPD asks anyone with any information to call 617-343-4470 or Crime Stoppers at 800-494-TIPS.
