Three individuals are in custody after five people were wounded in a shooting in Boston during an overnight incident that left a street covered in fireworks debris, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of shots fired in the area of 33 Edgewater Drive in the city’s Mattapan section around 2 a.m. found five victims suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, according to the Boston Police Department.
All of the victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Video from the scene showed a heavy emergency presence in the area and dozens of evidence markers next to shell casings in the street.
Daylight photos of the neighborhood that later emerged showed the street coated in discarded fireworks and other debris.
Hours after the violence erupted, a street sweeper was seen cleaning the debris from the littered roadway.
Police didn’t release the names of the three individuals taken into custody in connection with the incident.
Two guns were recovered at the scene, police noted.
It’s not clear if charges have been filed or when the individuals will be called to court.
An investigation remains ongoing.
