These shootings are being reported here. Seriously you'd never know if you only depended on the local papers.

As off 4am this morning. Channel 4,5,7 ,10 news front pages and the front of Boston.com did not mention the murder.
There was stories about a boby being found in Franklin park and a shooting in Medford.

Nobody important was murdered in Dorchester.
