Boston Blotter: Driver Shoots Up Cambridge, Four Dorchester Men Shoot Each Other

crime_scene_tape.jpg-- A car chase and gun battle ended yesterday evening in Cambridge when a man toting a .45-caliber handgun slipped out of his bullet-perforated car and into the waiting arms of police. The man was allegedly involved in a series of shootings that twisted through the streets of East Cambridge, stretching down Pine St. and up Main St. to Bishop Allen Dr. Three different crime scenes were established, and authorities believe that somebody fired upon the car while it was moving. Bostonist found no report of injuries. The driver faces multiple charges. [Cambridge Chronicle]

-- Four Dorchester men were involved in a shootout last night that left a two-block trail of blood through the neighborhood, according to reports. (This alleged gunfight was carbon neutral; the men remained on foot.) Two men were taken to the hospital, one with life-threatening injuries. No arrests have been reported. [Globe]

-- An Everett man was shot in the face in East Somerville Friday night, but refuses to say how. [Somerville Journal]

All charges alleged until proven under law.
