A series of shooting incidents have been recorded by Boston Police over the past week, including one last Thursday night (March 27) in which an individual was wounded by gunfire on Woodrow Avenue in Dorchester. In two other incidents, property damage was noted, but no one was reported injured.

Thursday night’s shooting happened around 11:15 p.m. on the 200-block of Woodrow, according to a police report. When officers arrived, they were told that a male victim had already been taken to an area hospital with gunshot wounds that were non-life-threatening. Ballistic evidence was located on the scene, and the investigation is ongoing.

The night before— Wed., March 26, at about 8:30— officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation in the 600 block of Walk Hill Avenue in Mattapan where they found no one with any injuries, and made no arrests. They did locate ballistic evidence on the scene, with bullets going into a home on Fottler Road.

In a third incident, around 2:15 a.m. on Sat., March 22, a woman looking to park near her home off Greenwood Street in Dorchester reported that an unknown-to-her person opened fire on her vehicle. The ballistics hit the side of her car, and careened into a home down the street, but she was not injured, according to a BPD account.

Minutes later, police noted a ShotSpotter activation for nine rounds fired at 2:18 a.m. near the corner of Greenwood and Fowler Avenue. A large contingent of police rushed to the scene and found ballistic evidence on a porch in the 20th block of Greenwood. A sedan parked in front of a neighboring house had bullet holes in the passenger side door, and the home next to it also had bullet holes in it.

Residents who were asleep inside the home had no idea of what had happened, but upon further investigation officers found multiple bullet holes in the walls of the home, with a mirror shattered from a bullet and a spent bullet found on the bathroom floor.

That incident also remains under investigation.
