The crime scene stretched blocks away to Heath Street, where officers also roped off a crime scene. They said multiple weapons were found on scene.
"At this time we're dealing with a very large and active crime scene that spreads out through most of the development," Boston police Deputy Superintendent Paul McLaughlin said Monday night.
People who live nearby said it was shocking seeing how quickly how many officers descended on the neighborhood.
“We were up in the window and we just saw a ton of cop cars, like a SWAT team, not an ambulance, like an EMT guy like breaking down the door materials," one resident said. "I didn’t see any of that, but they definitely had a lot of people with a lot of stuff to take someone down.”
Few details have been released, but it appears police are still searching for at least one or two more people who ran from the scene. They also asked anyone who was out in the neighborhood and saw anything to contact them.
