A man was shot and killed Monday in broad daylight near a middle school in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, drawing a large police response and prompting officials to shut down a busy roadway for several hours and place the school in 'safe mode.'
"We need the publics help on this one," Cox said."Columbia Road is a very busy street here, it's very close to the Frederick Middle School so we need the publics help certainly identifying what might have happened and occurred so we can investigate and settle this fairly quickly."
The police commissioner said it appears no one in the school was impacted in any way thankfully, but Cox noted they are continuing to investigate at the scene. "The Frederick Middle School and all Boston Public Schools are committed to fostering environments where all students feel safe, welcome, and respected," McGoldrick said, adding they were sharing this update as a part of their commitment to open communication and transparency."Please know the safety and security of all students and staff is one of our most important priorities.
The crime scene is in front of several triple deckers and was extremely active. Red tape could also be seen around at least two black vehicles that appear to be abnormally positioned in the street between a row of others vehicles that are parallel parked along the sidewalk."Again we do need the publics help," Cox reiterated."This is a daylight shooting, it happened middle of the day, a lot of people are out here in general.
