Four people shot outside Packy Connors; Blue Hill Ave. shut

ED. NOTE: Story has been updated with new details on arraignment and charges.

Boston Police report that four people were shot outside the trouble-prone Packy Connors at closing around 2 a.m. today, in an incident that ended with police firing at the gunman after he allegedly pointed his weapon at them.

Police report the arrest of Charkeem Hyatt, also known as Maurice Mattocks, 19, of Dorchester, on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of a loaded firearm, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and resisting arrest:

Preliminary information suggests that immediately following the shooting incident several officers pursued the suspect on foot. During this time, there was an exchange of gunfire between the suspect and the officers.

In Roxbury District Court, Hyatt was also arraigned on charges of four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office. Bail was set at $200,000, but his bail in an earlier, unrelated case was revoked.

Blue Hill Avenue south of the bar was shut for much of the morning as police combed the area for evidence.

Channel 4 reports police found two victims at the scene and that the other two managed to get themselves to Boston Medical Center. All were expected to survive.

The station reported that the Boston Licensing Board revoked the bar's liquor license today pending an emergency hearing on Monday on whether to shut it.

Just last week, the licensing board voted to let Packy Connor's stay open despite police complaints about an all-out brawl outside the bar in May that left three people stabbed and four arrested - the latest in a long string of police complaints to the board about the bar. At last week's hearing, board chairman Daniel Pokaski agreed with the bar's owners that they were being unfairly blamed for incidents happening outside the bar in an unsafe neighborhood.
