Preteen at home in Mattapan shot in the leg by bullet possibly fired a block away

A 12year-old boy at home on Cummins Highway across from Seminole Street was shot in the lower leg around 8:20 p.m. Sunday.

BPD officers applied a tourniquet to his leg before Boston EMS arrived to take him to a local hospital.

Oficers found two bullet holes came through a glass door at the building's entrance. Shortly after, officers found two spent shells a block away at Seminole Street and Yuletide Road. In total, officers found more than ten casings up and down Seminole.
