One victim was stabbed on the train platform; the other was stabbed in the station's parking lot.

Roxbury Crossing doesn't have a parking lot. The station entrance is right on the street.

at the Berkman Center's weekly blogging meetup. But I don't see any reference to a parking lot in the story that Adam linked to.

They updated the story and removed the parking-lot reference.

The parking lot is behind the station and is for transit cops and t workers

It's pretty bad when you hear the automated "Trains will not be stopping at Roxbury Crossing" at the first thing that comes to your mind is "Oh, someone probably got stabbed."

I passed by the station on my way home and the trashcans were wide open, one cop was pacing the platform but it was otherwise empty.

The Suffolk County DA's office says both teens, 16 and 18, were stabbed on the outbound side around 5:30 p.m. Both are expected to survive.
