“It’s absurd that a grandmother can’t sit on her porch on a beautiful spring day without the worry of gunfire,” Acting Boston Mayor Kim Janey said on Saturday while visiting the scene of the crime. “Emotions are very high here. A lot of the neighbors are still out. They’re very traumatized.”
Janey and Long were joined by Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins, who vowed that the people responsible for the shooting on Saturday will be found.
“We are going to be prosecuting people that have guns,” Rollins said. “You will be sent away, and there will be no recourse for you.”
No arrests have been made yet.
