A broad daylight shooting in the parking lot of Walgreen’s at the busy intersection of Warren St. & Quincy St. left one man dead and another wounded. The shooting took place at this busy intersection which is directly diagonal from Boston Latin and across from the recently shuttered Roxbury Comprehensive Health Center.
BostonGlobe reports about an overnight shooting of two, which left one woman wounded and one man dead.
This brings the new total to 26 people shot since the Boston Marathon Bombings.
Sadly the list of shootings grows in Boston. The apathy remains the same.
Here is the list of shootings that have occurred in Boston since the Marathon on April 15th.

“Violence is a virus”
The City of Boston like any other urban center in America is affected by violence each day. Any community that has been red-lined by banks for over 30 years, left behind in the quality of education offered publicly and faces un-employment at nearly double the rate of the rest of the communities around it will surely face levels of violence at a disproportionate level. These issues are long standing and systemic that must be acknowledged and addressed.
