Police in Boston say a shooting has wounded at least seven people during the city's Caribbean carnival
BOSTON — — A shooting during the Boston Caribbean Carnival wounded at least seven people Saturday morning, police said.
All seven were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, Officer Michael Torigian said.Police received a call at 7:44 a.m. reporting that multiple people had been shot in the Dorchester neighborhood, and officers responded to the area of Blue Hill Avenue and Talbot Avenue, Torigian said.
The shooting happened during the J’ouvert Parade, which kicks off the carnival, now in it's 50th year. In 2019, a gun battle broke out at the parade in front of police officers, prompting neighboring Cambridge to cancel its its own Caribbean festival that year. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.
