Three shootings in just 12 hours across Greater Boston this week were described as the “most significant surge in gun violence” in the communities since 2022, according to the Middlesex District Attorney.
“The fact that over 50 shots were fired in very densely populated areas, some in the middle of the afternoon, is the type of brazen, dangerous conduct for which those responsible must be held accountable,” said District Attorney Marian Ryan in a statement.
“We have committed substantial resources over the past several years to address every instance of gun violence in this county through prosecution, prevention and legislative action. These shootings mark the most significant surge in gun violence here since 2022,” Ryan said.
