Five shot in Franklin Park

By adamg on Sun, 08/18/2024 - 10:46pm

Five people were shot in the the area of Circuit Drive between Pierpont Road and the golf clubhouse tonight.

Police, already on hand in the park for the annual Dominican festival, which was scheduled to run until 10 p.m., reported shots around 8:42 p.m. and then more shots fired about two minutes later.

At least one of the victims was a teen or younger. One person was shot in the arm.

WCVB reports none of the injuries were considered life threatening.

I hope this event never occurs again. The people it attracts have no respect for the neighborhood. The amount of noise and dangerous driving coming from the Dominican festival all weekend long is out of control. This mass shooting should be a surprise to no one. I have similar thoughts about the Saint Patrick’s day parade, but at least that only lasts a few hours and most people don’t drive to it.
