Boston Blotter: Shooting in Church Parking Lot

100607-boston-police.jpg--Shooting broke out in the parking lot of Dorchester's Holy Tabernacle Church on Washington Street last night--during a packed worship session. An unidentified person was shot in the shoulder.

--Emmanuel Greene, 22, of Dorchester, was not happy when he picked up his Chinese food at Chung Wah on Bowdoin Street last night. A Safe Street Team spotted him kicking a door because some kind of mixup happened with his order. Greene said that he didn't get the right order. The restaurant employee said she wasn't giving him anything until she got paid. Whatever it was, it made Greene so angry that police arrested him for disorderly.

--The BPD had a successful Operation Squeeze roundup in which they picked up several aspiring clients of prostitutes. The five arrested men ranged in age from 20 years old to 60 years old.

--Alexander Pring-Wilson is going on trial again for the murder of Michael Colono in Cambridge in 2003. The second trial is happening because a Supreme Court ruling states that a jury must consider Colono's previous record. Pring-Wilson claimed that he stabbed Colono in self-defense, and proof of Colono's past may help his case.
