Detectives from the Boston Police C-11 precinct are investigating a shooting incident at the end of November that was followed by a flurry of activity nearby. Officer Mike Keaney told members of the Fields Corner Civic Association that three incidents unfolded just after 10:30 p.m. on Sun., Nov. 27.

The first call came in for “shots fired” around 10:30 p.m. on Lindsey Street. Minutes later, a man arrived at the C-11 station on Gibson Street with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was given first aid and then transferred to the hospital. He is expected to survive, Keaney said.
Minutes later, police were called to a home on Mather Street after a resident reported a man banging at the back door. He fled, but a resident observed him hide something in the driveway, where officers found a bag under a vehicle containing three Glock firearms, one loaded with 11 rounds.

An ask for info on cat confirmed as rabid – Last Monday, Boston Animal Care and Control Division responded to a call from a concerned resident who reported that there was a cat exhibiting neurologic behavior in the front of 132 Glenway St. in Dorchester. The cat was impounded by a Boston Animal Control officer, transported to Angell Animal Hospital, where it was confirmed rabies positive by the State Rabies Lab. 

Rabies is a fatal but preventable viral disease. It can spread to people and pets if bitten or scratched by a rabid animal. Animal Control is asking that anyone who recognizes the cat, an unneutered male orange and white Domestic Shorthair, contact Boston Animal Care and Control at: 617-635-5348, or call 311.

The department would also like to be in contact with anyone in the area who has encountered a cat matching this description in the past 21 days or after the Thanksgiving holiday, especially if they’ve been bitten or scratched. Please call the Boston Public Health Commission at 617-534-5611.
