Two men shot in Dorchester while sitting on front steps
Two men were shot as they sat on the front steps of a Dorchester apartment building on Columbia Road Thursday night, police said. Boston police Captain John Danilecki said at the scene that one victim was in his 30s and the other in his 50s, and that both are expected to survive. He said witnesses told officers that a lone gunman opened fire at close range as the victims sat on the front steps of 209 Columbia Road at about 10:15 p.m. The men, who were not identified, were taken to city hospitals, and one remained in critical condition late Thursday, Danilecki said.
