Five Injured in Boston Dominican Festival Shooting

Five people, including a teenage girl who required surgery, were injured in a shooting at the Dominican Festival in Franklin Park, Boston, on Sunday night. The shooting occurred around 9 p.m. as the festival was concluding, prompting Boston Police to call it a 'heinous act' and seek public assistance in gathering video footage and information. All victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were quickly transported to local hospitals. Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox emphasized the need for accountability and expressed gratitude that the injuries were not fatal, despite the trauma inflicted on the community. The incident has raised concerns as it disrupts a year marked by a reduction in violent crime in the city. Authorities have intensified their investigation but have yet to provide information on any suspects or further details about the shooting.
