15-year-old showed up at a Dorchester block party with a loaded gun, police say

Boston Police report arresting a teen on various gun charges at a block party at Pleasant and Pearl streets in Dorchester shortly before 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Police say officers were monitoring the block party when they "observed a disturbance across the street" and were then "approached by an unknown individual who told officers that one of the suspects had a firearm."

Police say two guys began walking away from the officers in different directions. One was questioned and released, but the other refused orders to stop, police say:

Officers were able to catch up to the suspect, and attempted to conduct a pat frisk. The suspect began to resist officers’ orders, and was placed into handcuffs. Officers searched the suspect and recovered a firearm from a fanny pack. The firearm was later determined to be a SCCY CPX-1 with one round in the chamber and seven rounds in the magazine.

The teen, too young to have his name released, was charged as delinquent for illegal possession of a firearm and illegal possession of ammunition, police say.
