A woman suffered life-threatening injuries in a Roxbury shooting Thursday afternoon and a person of interest in the case has been taken into custody, according to Boston police.
Police received a report of a person shot at 55 Savin St. about 4 p.m., according to Officer Andre Watson, a Boston police spokesman. The woman was found inside the home with a gunshot wound, Boston police Superintendent Felipe Colon said in a news conference at the scene, according to an audio recording provided by police. The woman was taken to a local hospital, where she was listed in critical condition, Colon said.
“This is not a random incident,” he said. “We do have a person in custody, of interest. At this time, we are processing a fairly large crime scene for ballistic evidence.”
