2 People Shot Outside Of Fenway Park
BOSTON (CBS) - Two people were shot outside of Fenway Park early Friday morning.
It happened around 2 a.m. on Lansdowne Street near the Cask n' Flagon and Game On, just as bars and clubs were letting out. Boston Police said one person had been shot several times and was seriously wounded. The other person had been shot once.
Both ended up in the hospital and both are expected to survive, according to police.
Officers shut down the area overnight for their investigation. There's no word yet on a motive.
"I literally was walking down these streets last night," said Boston resident Matthew Moffat. "That could have been me or one of my friends that got shot. That's pretty horrifying, honestly."
Evidence markers and crime scene tape scattered several blocks around Fenway Park after the shooting. Those who live and work in the area are having a hard time believing this would happen outside of what's usually such a happy place to be.
"I usually feel pretty safe. There's a lot of people. Usually, good energy. I don't see a ton of fights happening, so that's definitely a surprise. Honestly, a shock I'd say," said Moffat.
There have been no arrests.
