Boston Blotter: More Violence in Brockton

--After the death of a prominent high-school athlete, the cycle of violence continues in Brockton. A teenager was shot on the street last night, and a 7-year-old was also injured in the scuffle.

A witness told the Globe that the unidentified teenager was shot four times at close range. WBZ reports that he is in critical condition and that it is believed the child got hit with a bullet fragment.

--A woman who is four months pregnant is in critical condition after getting shot in Fitchburg. 21-year-old Elizabeth Crete and 21-year-old Melvin Cabrera were fired upon last night when they were investigating the source of a car alarm. The captain of the Fitchburg police department said, "There are no suspects and no motives."

--In the Whoops! Department, yesterday afternoon a Stop & Shop truck somehow found itself parked on the railroad tracks – exactly when an MBTA commuter train was barreling toward it. Only the back of the truck was sitting on the tracks, so no one got hurt.

--If you want to steal a cell phone that's just laying out in the open, maybe you don't want to do it at the court house. Since it's a court house, they are equipped to deal with thieves. But Nasir Osman was at the Dorchester Court House, he saw a chance to steal a desk worker's cell phone, and he couldn't resist. The cousin of the cell phone owner called Mr. Osman, who unwisely picked up and unwisely said, "In order to get your phone back, it will cost you forty dollars.” A meeting was arranged, undercover officers showed up, and Mr. Osman was arrested.

All charges alleged until proven under law.
