One dead, three wounded in shooting outside Fenway Park bar
One person was killed and three others wounded in an early morning Thanksgiving shooting at a bar near Fenway Park.
The shooting happened around 2 a.m. just outside the bar Who’s on First at 19 Yawkey Way, Boston Police said. Four men in their late 20s were shot, and one was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other men were transported to area hospitals and are expected to survive.
Detectives are not ruling out the possibility that the shooting was gang-related, a police spokesman said Thursday morning.
The longtime Fenway bar has had a history of issues, including violence.
In September, two women were shot outside the bar and survived. The bar was later cited for the incident. It also has a history of serving alcohol to minors, among other issues with the Boston Licensing Board.
