Teen Shoot-Out at Ruggles: Orange Line Commuters Screwed and Sweaty

Ah….. summer in Boston: Lobster rolls, ice-cold Sam Adams, and teen-agers shooting each other on the subway.

Boston.com issued a breaking news alert today at 2:44 PM: “Police Search for 2 Suspects after Teen Shot on Orange Line Train.”

According to the story by Mac Daniel, at about 1 p.m. a teenager exited the outbound train at Ruggles and pulled a gun on another “18 to-19 year old” male, who was still on the train. The shootee was rushed to the hospital and is expected to be OK. The shooter escaped and has not yet been found.

The T police shut down a chunk of the OJ line and rounded the non-bullet-ridden passengers into a bus for frisking and questioning. An MBTA customer-service rep said that the OJ line is back up and running.

But still ... it's probably slow. Hello, #39 bus! See you there, hosers!

PS – Remember when airline passengers spontaneously decided to just throw shoes at terrorists? Just sayin’, people. Sorry, it’s wicked hot and I want to get home. Meddling kids!
