Did the person die? Fox 25
Did the person die? Fox 25 news just said life threatening injuries unless you got it right and there not updated
Fox 25 is now reporting he died
Update.
To be honest, I heard it on the scanner. Sadly, it's usually a good indicator that somebody's died when one police supervisor asks which hospital the victims are going to, and another one answers something like "The viable one is going to ..." (Boston first responders distinguish between victims as "viable" and "non-viable").
It's hard to hear it, sure,
It's hard to hear it, sure, but it's even harder being the BPD. Imagine being the people actually seeing this stuff.
Oh, I wasn't conplaining
I mentioned the scanner only because there seemed to be a question as to where I got my information.
I fully realize that first responders (police, firefighters, EMTs and paramedics) see some horrific things and I don't know how they cope with that and salute them for continuing to serve.
My heart is broken
The no words to express my deepest condolences to you Ms. F. you have lost so so so much in your life. I remember being your neighbor and you were and are the loving person. To have have lost so so so much.
My me, mom and family are prayer for your comfort during this unimaginable lost. I love you and wrapp my arms around from a distance.
I ask everyone to try to refrain from spectacularly blogging.
Sigh
My condolences on your and their loss.

Our community have suffered to many lost to violence in that area, it's gotten to the point when came around times many; there were no kids outside, no families, sitting in their back yards chilling.

Thank you Anthony
For your eloquence in sending a message to city leaders. The political elite have ignored the plight of inner city blacks and rust belt whites. The biggest fear of the political elite is not Trump it is the fear that the forgotten class of blacks and whites will join together and send the vote for me I'm better than you a message.
Thank You adamg
Thank you admag
as tears run down my cheeks for all who have lost there and for the Community, please someone help us.
Despite people's beliefs, misconceptions and stereotypes; many people in public housing are honest hard working, loving people for various reasons and some not of their choice live in public housing. And they\we live\lived in public housing does not mean we are on drugs or criminals on the contrary. There many times people who don't live there bring there problems. There is a lot to be done by residents too, however right now most or some are too frieghten and traumatized to move. Please help.
I listen to the scanner at
