A 17-year-old student was killed – and three others wounded – in a shooting on Washington Street in Dorchester Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting happened around 1:15 p.m. at a pizza restaurant near Jeremiah E. Burke High School. Witnesses said they heard two to three shots fired.
“We send our condolences to the family of the Burke student fatally shot today and pray one day we’ll see an end to such senseless violence,” Boston Public Schools said in a statement.
Two of the wounded were teens, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The other was a 67-year-old woman whose leg was grazed by a bullet.
