Some people in the area expressed surprise about the violence in the heart of Boston's tourism zone.
"It’s beautiful here but it does get dangerous,” said Jaiden Lee, who lives in the area. "I stay with my friends, I make sure I have my location on and everything.”
“Very surprised, it’s always a busy area, heavy traffic for lunch, breakfast, it’s very crowded so I’m surprised it would take place right here," said Tashon Lowe, who works in the area. "I walk here almost everyday."
