BPD cop gets shot (at)

04.14.09 - Mattapan, Mass. - During a traffic shot a man shot at a Boston Police officer, narrowly missing. What seemed like the entire department turned out to investigate the matter. The man was apprehended.

In case you are counting at home, that is two shootings in a row in Mattapan on Monday night after 10 pm.

Shooting in Mattapan

04.07.09 - Mattapan, Mass. - In an attempted revenge shooting, a 61 year-old man was shot twice by a man with a 12 gauge shotgun while answering his door. Apparently, the shooter thought a different person was going to open up when he rang the bell. The man survived. 

The top photo ran in the paper and would've been great, except that my vertical focus button was turned off. An in focus shot of the damage is on the bottom.
