Sgt. Luke Taxter at District D-4 reports an 18-year-old was shot around 1:25 a.m. yesterday at 647 Harrison Ave. She's expected to survive. Two cars were also hit.
I dont live in the South End any more, I live in Dorchester. Gunfire is all too common in both neighborhoods. But this location has on one side of the street a police station. On the other side of the street, a large public housing project, with alleged gang activity. And a couple of blocks away, another housing project with alleged gang activity.
And if I have the location correct, the shooting occured on the side of the station with no first floor windows, with a brick wall presenting to the street.
Shooting have occurred very close to the B3 station in Mattapan too.

Damn. That's right in front of the Area D
police station.
What difference does it make?
What difference does it make? People have been getting killed on the doorstep of the Mattapan and Lower Roxbury stations for years now.
I live in the South End; I'm used to the occasional shooting.
It is still surprising to me to hear of gunplay within steps of a police station.
Doesnt surprise me at all

I'm no criminal, but I'm thinking, if one has
to shoot someone, maybe do it, oh, not right next to the police station? Just spit-ballin' here.
What Difference Does it Make?
It makes none
But now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight

Given that the victim is ok, can dumb jokes be made about this headline now?
"Woman Shot in the South End"...
She got shot in the As-
tor bar. What a swell party this is...
